It is recommended that this lesson be completed using Python 3.8. Other versions of Python 3 should also work.
Note about Python 2: Python 2 was sunset by Python Software Foundation on January 1, 2020. This means that no more updates to Python 2 are being worked on, including security updates. Python 3 is now the recommended version of Python for everyone to use. Most Python developers of software, packages, and scripts have migrated to Python 3 already, however you may find some older scripts and tools that are no longer maintained that only work with Python 2.
You may see/hear references to Python 2 within the videos in this course from before January 2020, however all examples scripts and demos available in the GitHub repo to run have been updated to leverage Python 3.
Note: During this lesson you will explore the basics of Python.
No Sandbox is required for this lesson.
