It is a code editor which helps you write and execute Python programs in the editor itself.
Components of Python 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.
