If I'm in the Python IDLE editor and the shell is not open, is there some way to open the shell without running a program? I expect it's something simple that I just can't find. Thanks

For Python 3.8 its just Run -> Python Shell if I am understanding your question correctly

For windows:

  • Win+R to open run window
  • cmd to open, well, the command line
  • python to run python. Make sure you've added the python.exe file to PATH
