The syntax aka grammar is different between version 2 and version 3. I recommend downloading version 2.7 and 3.7 . If you need any further help feel free to respond I'd love to help.

Okay I installed it, now when I try to run it CMD opens and closes, when I drop it into CMD it says Syntax error, I just downloaded the most recent one, where can I download 2.7 and 3.7?

Check YouTube where you can pause the video to take it step by step.

Usually if you right click the .py file, run through IDLE and you should be good.

Both 2.7 and 3.7 are in the link Fell sent. I'll post it here again to minimize confusion. (you need an account to see links) Idle should be fine. Though the program may have something called modules, these are basically extra files that some programs use, that add additional functionality. If you get an error saying you're missing a module. After you download python, go to command prompt and type "pip install ModuleName" (without quotes) replace ModuleName with whatever the module in the file is called. Note: module names are case sensitive.

Is your computer 64 bit or 32 bit.
2.7.10 64 bit Python = (you need an account to see links)
2.7.10 32 bit Python = (you need an account to see links)
3.7.11 64 bit Python = (you need an account to see links)
3.7.11 32 bit Python = (you need an account to see links)

If you want to use tensorflow might want to stick to 2.7 and 3.6 for now.
If you want to run any python program then go to the folder the program is in.
Hold shift and right click, select open command window here.
Type
python whateverthefilenameis.py

And it should run without any problems.
If python in that command doesn't work then replace python with either python2 or python3 and retry.
If any issues post the cmd message or screenshot here and we'll help you
