  2. When submitting programs you must attach:

    - a file with the input and output of your program,
    - the subject field in your e-mail should be marked with HW number

Download the distribution of the Python 3 from here: https://www.python.org/

This distribution includes compiler, standard libraries and a simple IDE called IDLE.

Install Python.

After installation you can run IDLE by clicking:
  Start -> All Programs -> Python 3.4.3 -> IDLE (Python GUI)

You can use any other GUI or IDE for Python, but your program should be able to run in IDLE.



You can use Dia 0.97 for drawing UML activity diagrams (flowcharts).
