    From Karen Park@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 27 16:47:29 2022
    Hello,

    I am trying to do a python code. Using Windows, I got as far as the step that asks me to “copy the logistics.py file and save it in the same folder that you are running python from” (as displayed by the command prompt).
    Can you help direct me where to go to copy and save this “logistics.py“ file?

    Thank you,

    Karen

    It sounds like you're follow some tutorial? Can you provide the URL of
    the tutorial you're following?

    Well, where do the instructions tell you to obtain "logistics.py"? Or maybe that is the file you are supposed to create using some editor?

    Unless you've changed directories, opening a command shell should reveal something like:

    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.2251]
    (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

    C:\Users\Wulfraed>

    ... C:\Users\Wulfraed would be the directory in which to save the file
    (for my machine)... But if I run a few directory changes...

    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.2251]
    (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

    C:\Users\Wulfraed>cd "Documents\_Hg-Repositories\Python Progs"

    C:\Users\Wulfraed\Documents\_Hg-Repositories\Python Progs>

    ... means the directory to save in would be C:\Users\Wulfraed\Documents\_Hg-Repositories\Python Progs

    The idea is to save the .py file in the /current working directory/. That way you only need to type the name of the file, without the long
    directory path, when invoking the program (which assumes 'python"
    [python.exe] is on your system path).
