Installing Python

I've started to incorporate Python scripts into some of the techniques and effects that I'm demoing in my videos, so instead of covering Python in every video, I have made a blog entry for how to install Python.

Scroll down and find the Files section.

Identify the operating system and click on the link. For me I have a 64bit Windows 10 installation, so I chose the one that is highlighted.
