Components of Python IDLE Window
            There are two components of Python IDLE window:

               •  Menu Bar: The Menu Bar of Python IDLE window is similar to the Menu Bar of other programs.
               It has various menus such as File, Edit, Shell, Debug, Options, Window and Help.
               •  Prompt: You will see a blinking cursor after the symbol (>>>) in the window. This is known as the
               Prompt. The Prompt allows the user to enter commands directly into Python and get an output
               instantly by pressing the Enter key.
