How do I install python for personal coding use?
I know I can type python code in any text file I create but I'd also like to be able to run my code to make sure that it's doing what I want it to do. I've recently been learning python and wanted to install it so that I can make my own projects once I'm advanced enough. Only issue is that I realized python3 is pre-installed as part of the OS and is locked to avoid having people trash the entire OS on accident. The current version of that python is 3.12.3 and I tried installing the latest version of python from the official website but I couldn't get that to work and and activated a timeshift to undo it in case if it was going to mess up my drive. I wasn't able to find one but is anyone aware of any guides that show how to install it so that I can create myself .py files?
