    - Typing or entering information
      - How might you type your Python code at a laptop or desktop computer or similar computer?
        
        In the Assignments for the course [MIT OpenCourseWare], Problem Set 0 contains a handout, "Getting Started With Python" (in the file, MIT6_0001F16_Getting_Start.pdf), that might teach a learner how to use Python-related software at a computer in order that the learner can type code at that computer.
      - How might you type your Python code at a smartphone or at a tablet computer or at a similar Internet-access device?
        
        If you want to type Python 3 code that uses external packages, you might use CoCalc.
        
        Why might you want to use CoCalc?
        
        Especially if you are not in a position to install or to use the relevant Python-related software at the smartphone, tablet computer, or other Internet-access device that you are using, then you might instead use Python 3 at CoCalc - especially for your Python 3 code that uses external packages.
        
        How might you start to use CoCalc?
        
        The video, An overview of CoCalc [YouTube], provides an introduction to CoCalc.
