I have installed Python 3.5.0b3, and when I tried to make the shortcut, it looked very different from the book's examples and I did not get the toolbar with "File", "Edit", "Options", etc. on the top. Please tell me how to correctly complete the installation process. Thank you, and I hope to hear back.
I'm not sure exactly what error you're getting, but I would suggest that while learning programming, you should probably use the latest release version of Python, rather than the beta. So at time of writing, that's version 3.4.3.
I do know of one problem with 3.5, where you need to move the DLL found in directory c:\Python35\DLLs\Microsoft.VC140.CRT, up one level (to directory c:\Python35\DLLs), in order to get tkinter working -- which I guess could be part of your problem (as detailed here: https://bugs.python.org/issue24847).
So that's simply moving the file here:
to here:
NOTE: this is no longer required for the release version of 3.5 (it was only necessary for the beta versions)
