How do I install Python IDLE?
Which IDLE package I should install from Software Center in Ubuntu assuming I want to program in Python 3?
Solution 1:
You can install IDLE for Python 3 by installing the idle3
package in the official Ubuntu repositories:
sudo apt-get install idle3
For Python 2, replace idle3
with idle
.
Solution 2:
Use this package. Any of IDLE3 packages are fine. If you install IDLE3 it will get updated when they release a new version of IDLE3. But if you install IDLE(using Python-3.4), it won't get updated when IDLE for 3.5 is available.
