Learning Python and installing it on windows.

I'm on a mission to learn Python!!  Just my daily log so I can keep my self motivate to learn python coding and keep at it.

Why do I want to learn python?
So I can automate the boring stuff and learn something new!

What version am I going to learn?
Python 3.

Installation:
Download Python from offical website.
https://www.python.org/downloads/


Since I don't have another PC I will install it on my existing windows machine.
Setup the Window System variable.

3.1.2. Installation Steps

Four Python 3.7 installers are available for download - two each for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the interpreter. The web installer is a small initial download, and it will automatically download the required components as necessary. The offline installer includes the components necessary for a default installation and only requires an internet connection for optional features. See Installing Without Downloading for other ways to avoid downloading during installation.
After starting the installer, one of two options may be selected:

If you select “Install Now”:
  • You will not need to be an administrator (unless a system update for the C Runtime Library is required or you install the Python Launcher for Windows for all users)
  • Python will be installed into your user directory
  • The Python Launcher for Windows will be installed according to the option at the bottom of the first page
  • The standard library, test suite, launcher and pip will be installed
  • If selected, the install directory will be added to your PATH
  • Shortcuts will only be visible for the current user
Selecting “Customize installation” will allow you to select the features to install, the installation location and other options or post-install actions. To install debugging symbols or binaries, you will need to use this option.
To perform an all-users installation, you should select “Customize installation”. In this case:
  • You may be required to provide administrative credentials or approval
  • Python will be installed into the Program Files directory
  • The Python Launcher for Windows will be installed into the Windows directory
  • Optional features may be selected during installation
  • The standard library can be pre-compiled to bytecode
