Its worth spending a bit of time describing how to use IDLE. To most, this may not be immediately obvious.
Bucky from The New Boston serves up this Python video tutorial on how to import modules into IDLE in Python. This is the program you use to write all of your Python code down. Fun with importing modules! Python is a dynamic, object-oriented, high-level, programming language that can be used for many types of software development. It off offers strong support for integration with other.
How To Pandas For Idle Python Mac Os 10.10
Launch IDLE shell window
To start, we need to open the python shell window. This is the first window you see when you launch the IDLE application. If you haven’t already, drag the IDLE icon from your Launchpad down into the dock. This will ensure it is ever present whenever you wish to launch.
Python For Mac Os
Open editor window
Import module works in Terminal but not in IDLE. When using python in IDLE on Mac, each python installation has it’s own /lib/site-packages for 3rd party modules. Depending on your installation method (using the regular pip install package-name) terminal won’t allow you to import them when using IDLE. If so, I’ll show you the steps to import a CSV file into Python using pandas. To start, here is a simple template that you may use to import a CSV file into Python: import pandas as pd df = pd.readcsv (r'Path where the CSV file is stored File name.csv') print (df) Next, I’ll review an example with the steps needed to import your file. Oct 02, 2009 Yeah I just discovered this. When I print(sys.version) it is reporting back python 2.7.10. I thought I was using 3.6.5, as I went through the version change in cmd, but I guess that was just for IDLE. I guess I just need to get sublime to use python 3.6.5. If you want to do data analysis in python, you always need to use python packages like Numpy, Pandas, Scipy and Matplotlib etc. All those python packages are so powerful and useful to do Base N-dimensional array computing( Numpy ), Data structures & analysis ( Pandas ), scientific computing ( Scipy) and Comprehensive 2D Plotting ( Matplotlib ).
From the shell window, you need to open an editor window. The editor window is where we will write python code. From the IDLE menu bar (click on the shell window to ensure the menu bar is IDLE specific) click File, New File. This will open a new window called “Untitled”
Save File
Its probably a good idea to save the editor window file at this point. This will ensure your code can be saved as you work on it, and it can be retrieved at a later point. From the menu bar, click File, Save As. Each Python file name will have a .py extension. This is provided by default when you name your file.
Write some code
I wanted to prove that my set up worked so I entered some code in the editor window. I wrote a hello world program using the code below. Click File, Save on the IDLE menu when this code has been written in the editor window.
Run program
Executing the code returns (prints) the string values (within quotation marks) stored inside brackets to the python shell window. On the IDLE menu bar click Run, Run Module. This returns the output shown below to the shell window.
Celebrate
Code written and successfully returned to the shell window! To follow on from my previous post, rubber has in fact hit the road. I now have a set up that works and the tools that I need to start learning Python.

Sidenote – The Python.org website has a a comprehensive guide on using IDLE which goes well beyond this post. For more detail, this is a great place to look.
