Whether you’re learning about basic Python data structures (strings, lists, dictionaries, and so on) for the first time, or you are debugging an application, the interactive Python shell will be one of your best learning tools.

To use the interactive Python shell (also sometimes called a “Python REPL”), first make sure that Python is installed on your computer. To activate the interactive Python shell, simply open your terminal and run python or python3, depending on your installation. You can find more specific directions in First Steps With Python.

example how did you go back (or up if you like). Hitting “space” does skip a hole page at the time, but hitting “d” key did not go back for me. I have tried small d and capital d shift d and control-d and even tried it all with “b” also in case i heard wrong. but it does not work for me?

python 3.8 shell through CMD windows 10.
