Python not working in PowerShell to type script

Question

I get this error when I type python:

PS C:\Users\zephy> python
python : Python 3.6.5 (v3.6.5:f59c0932b4, Mar 28 2018, 16:07:46) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
At line:1 char:1
+ python
+ ~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (Python 3.6.5 (v...ntel)] on win32:String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError

Type "help"
, "copyright", "
c
redits" or "license" for more information.
>
>>

and I clicked "add to path" when I installed the program.

This is the current path:

C:\Users\zephy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32

Any suggestions? It will run the programs I create fine, but I just can't run any script lines as this doesn't load.

Please copy and paste the errors as text in the question, not just a screenshot. — abarnert

Meanwhile, it's very hard to read scaled-down red-on-blue text, but it looks like you're starting up the interpreter just fine—at least I see the banner and the >>> prompt, although it looks like you hit enter a few times while it was in the middle of starting up. — abarnert

I was apparently running Powershell ISE

and not

Powershell.

I guess there was a difference. So much for my first day of trying to code.

Thanks for the suggestions.
