Using Python in Sublime2 / 3

I've been trying to use Python in sublimetext 2 / 3 but it always gives me an error message(different ones). Can anyone tell me the steps on how to install and use python in sublimetext 2 / 3 correctly?

What do You mean by "use Python in sublimetext 2/3" ? Sublimetext is just code editor and it's just highlighting your code syntax to make it easier to read. If you have .py files you can open it in sublimetext and edit it ;) If you want to use python you can open system console and type "python" and you will be in python shell where you can write python code.

Can you copy and paste the error message here? Also check Tools > Build System if you can see if Python is there to select?

Everything is set up for Python, this isn't the problem. I tried a simple program like this one:

def Test():
    question = input("Do you like potatos?")
    if question == "no":
        print("Why?")
    elif question == "yes":
        print("Nice!")
    else:
        print("I don't understand your answer.")

Test()

Error message: Do you like potatos?Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Julian\Desktop\Informatik_Privat\Python Programme\Test.py", line 11, in <module> Test() File "C:\Users\Julian\Desktop\Informatik_Privat\Python Programme\Test.py", line 3, in Test question = input("Do you like potatos?") EOFError: EOF when reading a line [Finished in 0.1s with exit code 1] [shell_cmd: python -u "C:\Users\Julian\Desktop\Informatik_Privat\Python Programme\Test.py"] [dir: C:\Users\Julian\Desktop\Informatik_Privat\Python Programme] [path: C:\Python34\;C:\Python34\Scripts;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;D:\Programme (x86)\Phone]

This is just one of many error messages I get when I try to use my written programm :(

Ah ok. You mentioned Sublime as topic so.. Don't know exactly how to solve your code problem. At first glance it seems to be missing a return statement at the end? I'm also still learning ;)
