Technical requirements

We will be using Python 3.11.1 installed on Windows. There are plenty of choices for code editors; choose one that is convenient for you to use and can deal with the libraries used in this chapter’s code examples. We will be using Notebooks and JupyterLab from Jupyter (https://jupyter.org/), Integrated Development and Learning Environment (IDLE) (the default editor from Python), and Windows’ Command Prompt (cmd) side by side.
