800 PointsConfusion regarding console and hello.py
To whom this gets read by, As a first time coder, I am a bit confused by what the job of the console is ( in this case using the application workspace) and the job of the hello.py file above the console. What do these two sections in the workspace format? Thanks.

The console would be too much to write about in its entirety in one post. But as an example of what the console can do... If you were to use the code print(“Hello World”) in a python file and run it, the output (Hello World) would show up in the console.
It’s also a place where you can use the Python REPL (read, evaluate, print, loop). You can use it to evaluate expressions and just generally mess around in python. To do this just enter the command python.
