Where is IDLE?

TableForGlasses

I have no knowledge of Python, I just started out by buying Pythonista 3 for iPad last night and have started through one of the beginner books I picked up in the latest Humble Bundle.

My issue is that it tells me “Type the following into IDLE’s interactive window”, which I cannot find. I can do print commands and get results in the console but cannot find where IDLE is. Any ideas?

Cheers all.

The text editor built into Python is an advanced substitute for Idle. The console is an advanced substitute for Idle‘s interactive window.

There is no IDLE. But you can use interactive console

Ah, so when it asks me to do 1 + 1 and press enter to get the result, where should I type that?

@TableForGlasses In the console. Swipe from right to left to get it.
