I must have slept a while

Python 3.4.10 (default, Jul 14 2019, 14:41:03) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32

Actually I did have 3..4.3 when I asked the question (first time) because I
could only find 3.4.10 as src and did not feel I was able to compile it with
any certainty ;->)

I have since moved up (a little) so only ~4 years old, I then updated pip from
9.x to 19.1

reason its an old version is it's an old PC (XpPro), if I start to get passable

at this I will try it on my Ubuntu box which is running 22.04 (latest LTS) and
23.04, (23.10 daily builds soon) I took a look and it seems I "may" have to
play a little to get IDLE on (if it's not in the normal repo's)

I seem to have managed to sort "PythonPath / sys.path" the environment variable

is working, so I can now import my_work without any other hassle, which is
good, now I find that some of the files which worked a treat from GUI, Editor
(F5) or terminal but don't do the same once saved and imported later, I'm sure
it's me, I have come from VB/VBA, Delphi and a (very) little C++, and am still
working through the python tutorial, trying not to skip ahead (ok I did skip
"Hello World" :->) so I may end up asking some (senior moment) newbie
questions, I will try hard to work it out myself first

Thanks to all who got me thus far

Basic is a high level languish. APL is a high level anguish.
