So how does one even start? Is there like a web page to download python shit? Or is this just shit that's naturally built into my system and I should just know already?. I'm using Fedora 44 I think if that helps

You can use uv to manage python versions and deps now. You shouldn't fuck around with your system python much.

Absolute easiest to start would be a Google collab notebook. Runs in the browser, don't have to manage packages.

Running it locally, you should a tool like pyenv or conda to avoid changing your system python packages.

yeah im p sure you install python or python3 via the fedora package manager to start. Then you create a script, foo.py or something. In there you put the actual code. When that looks good, you can run it by going >python3 /path/to/foo.py

additional libs can be a bit of headache with python specifically, but most use the helper tool pip or pipx, which can also be installed through the package manager

if im off on anything here lmk, working from inference and memory as im maining nixos atm, where the install process is a bit different :P
