There are a large number of online Python editors that will let you edit, run, and store your code using a standard browser. My favorite is the free coding sandbox available at www.codehs.com. Click here for step-by-step instructions on how to make an account. An even better option, however, is to install Python on your portable computer or desktop. That download is also available at no cost, and it will give you an even faster, more powerful interface. Instructions on how to install Python are here.
