Hi Nate,
I’ve installed from the store and from python.org. I installed 3.10 from
python.org and it was a very accessible process. At the time, the store did
not have 3.10, maybe it does now. If you already have python installed from
python.org, I’d stick with that.
Cheers,
Joel

Ok,
That makes a little sense, Microsoft store can sometimes carry different
packages of some programs. As far as I know, their NVDA download does not allow
for addons.

Hello all,
Goodness, Joel, my head may explode, LOL! I have two computers that I can
tinker on, I already got Python directly from Python.org, do I need to
uninstall it? Will there be that much of a difference between that one and the
one from the MS store?
Thanks for the warm greetings!
Regards,
Nate

If you are using windows, install python via the mS store. It will make your
life a lot easier.

Hi Nate,
Welcome to the list. No worries at all about newbie questions, there are many
people here at many levels of experience. Whatever you ask will surely be
appreciated by many others maybe having similar questions. And I think the
more experienced people enjoy helping.
As you start digging into Python, think of the REPL as a close friend. If you
haven’t tried it yet, you can start it by simply typing python at the command
line (assuming you had python added to your path during installation, or have
added it yourself). The REPL is a great place to try quick code snippets.
And the dir function will tell you all the attributes of an object. For
example,
dir(str)
