If there are spaces anywhere in the full path, you must include quotation marks at the beginning and end of this. Otherwise, you will have to type out the full path (or relative path if it's in a subfolder of the project folder) here. Remember, the Python program must be in the project folder.

Navigate to the project folder (it will not work, otherwise), enter the name of the Python file (including the “.py” extension), and click “Create”.In the menu bar, click “File” → “New” → “New File…”.Choose where to save it and click “Create”.

If you are unsure as to where your Python executables are, enter either of these commands into Terminal: which python3 and which python. Note that this assumes you have the symbolic link (that is setup by default) that resolves to the Python executable.
