Our two hosts describe the comprehensive guide produced by Fiverr..com and explains how to run Python scripts across major operating systems. It begins by clarifying the role of the Python interpreter and runtime, emphasising their necessity for script execution. The guide then details the installation and configuration process, including crucial steps for setting the PATH variable on different operating systems. A key section distinguishes between Python code, scripts, modules, and apps, explaining their functionalities and interrelationships. Finally, it presents multiple methods for running Python scripts: from the command line, via double-clicking (with OS-specific caveats), and using an IDE. Throughout, the guide highlights the advantages of using Python for automation, particularly in business contexts, and subtly promotes Fiverr's freelance services for assistance with Python programming.

Python scripts can automate countless repetitive business tasks, saving time and resources. Python scripts can also perform tasks that usually require paid software, such as converting video files to audio files or various AI-related tasks.

Python has extensive support for AI and machine learning, with many built-in and third-party libraries for data processing, natural language processing, and image processing. It’s even possible to train ChatGPT on your business data using a simple Python script.

However, writing Python scripts requires some programming knowledge, and executing a Python script on your chosen operating system needs some initial steps that can feel overwhelming for non-programmers.
