# 3.1 Dynamo's Python Node

#### Dynamo's Python Script Editor

The Python Script node comes with any default installation of Dynamo and, in many ways, it's just like any other node: it can be placed on the workspace, renamed and can take any number of inputs.

However, unlike other nodes, if you right-click and select **Edit...** a script editing window will appear, like so:

![By default, Dynamo will fill the editor with the above code](https://1200667159-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LqjgCN1whMnYsKXtYmV%2F-LxBU1XC8lMV8g232Obl%2F-LxBq43GvQLLrEeInkbk%2FPythonScriptEditor.jpg?alt=media\&token=7e2cd415-d4a3-4a89-a160-e1e6072e0a1a)

In this window, you are able to write IronPython scripts which will be directly executed as part of a Dynamo definition. To save your script, click the 'Accept Changes' button and then save the Dynamo definition it's in. Otherwise, click the 'Cancel' button to discard any changes made.

#### Are We There Yet?

You are \*so close\* to being able to write your first Python code for Dynamo! \
The final piece of the puzzle is to learn about boilerplate setup code, which you'll find in the next section in this chapter.
