Python 3.12 - where is the Run menu?

143 views Asked by At

I am trying to follow a tutorial but the tutorial was made in an earlier version of Python. I installed 3.12 and I have no Run menu option in the IDLE app. The F5 key just emits a sounds when I click on it. I'm searching all the documentation for any way to execute code that is saved in a file. Any help would be appreciated.

I also tried using the Debug/Debugger option but that gives a screen with all buttons greyed out so I can only open and close the window.

The comment has the answer for the Run menu: edit a file.

The debugger is not active until you run some code. Just run, for instance, print() either in Shell or from the editor.
