I think it is time to ask this topic to go find some other place to talk to itself.

I have seen NO reason to think any question about problems with Python has been asked. Not properly.

It sounds like someone messed up an installation, perhaps of other programs like an editor and some unspecified thing does not work. I suggest they start over and be careful so that if some specific version of Python is needed, it gets installed in the right place and so on. We here cannot be expected to have much idea about programs that perhaps we do not use.

Python can be used to build an editor, or parts it runs when needed, and it can be used to create or consume XML, or do things with audio formats. So can many other languages. If it was needed here and the setup was wrong or sabotaged, that is not something easily handled here.

Or did I miss something? If so, I know others here also missed it too.

If there is a more specific problem like some lines of actual python code not doing what was expected, please share that specifically with enough detail.

Oh, there are, there are - mostly intended for document authoring, I think.
