Hey! No dumb questions here—we all start somewhere. For how to run a file in python, the easiest way is using the terminal (or cmd). Just navigate to the folder where your script is and type `python script.py`.
If that doesn’t work, try `python3 script.py` (Mac/Linux) or check if Python is added to your PATH.
For IDEs, VS Code is great—just open the file and hit the play button. PyCharm is also super beginner-friendly.
Pro tip: If you’re on Windows, make sure your file ends with `.py` and isn’t just `script.txt` renamed!
