How are Python applications installed on a computer, and what program writing applications do we need to install?

Installing Python Applications:

• Use 'pip': This is the most common method. pip comes with Python and lets you install applications directly from the command line. Just type pip install <application_name> (e.g., pip install django).
• Manual installation: Some applications might have specific instructions. Follow them carefully for successful installation.

Programs for Writing Python Applications:

Text editor/IDE: Choose one that suits your needs. Popular options include:

Text editors: 

• You don't need a specific program to write Python code, but a good text editor or Integrated Development Environment (IDE) can significantly enhance your experience.
• These tools offer features like syntax highlighting, code completion, debugging, and project management, making Python development more efficient and enjoyable.
• Sublime Text, Visual Studio Code, Atom.

IDEs: PyCharm, Spyder, Thonny

Python interpreter: This comes bundled with the official Python download (https://www.python.org/downloads/).

Bonus Tip: Use virtual environments to isolate project dependencies and avoid conflicts. Popular tools include venv and virtualenv.

Remember: This is a general guide. Specific requirements might vary depending on the application and your project.
