[Tutor] A beginners question

[Trevor G]

Hello guys,
I am new to programming and have installed 2.3.2 onto my pc operating under
Windows 98.
1. When I go to run a coded program ie Run Module F5 it takes a long time to
actually 'run'. Is this a normal feature of Python or should it simply take
several seconds and then 'run'. The code is very straight forward and is the
type of exercises seen in any Python textbook for beginners ... chapter 1.
Am I doing something stupid?
Hope you can be of assistance.
Thanks
