Tutorial/Bug Report
by John McMicking 14 Apr '12

14 Apr '12

Well I can't report a bug with the program, because by trying to use your tutorial, I haven't gotten that far yet. That has got to be the absolute worst tutorial I have ever seen! It tells you how to end a program that it has not yet told you how to start! I installed Python on a Windows7 computer. On my start menu, I have three items in the Python folder. Which one of those was I learning how to end?! Before that, we are told how to add Python to the path. Why are we doing that? Why didn't the installer do that already? John
