I have Lubuntu. Like version 14.04 i think. Its supported till 2019 i do know that. I have python installed i think. I type "python3" into the terminal and it just allows me to code in the terminal. I can't find the interpreter anywhere. Is the interpreter what I want to be able to compile the code, and write multiple lines of code?

open or create any file with name .py for example
gedit test.py
write code to this file
print('Hello, world!')
save and close file and execute code like:
python3 test.py
The Python3 interpreter is located under /usr/bin/python3.x.
For future reference you can easily find python or any other executable locations by using the whereis command :
whereis python3
You could download a text editor such as gedit. It will allow you to program in the editor with certain functionality such as bracket matching and syntax highlighting. To install, run:
sudo apt-get install gedit
Once it's done, you can open the program and start coding.
