can't start python interpreter in emacs

im new to emacs and programing overall. Ive downloaded the newest releases in emacs and python. When i open a python file in emacs and i do the swithch to intrepeter command (or any other commands that needs acess to python) i get this reply from emacs mini buffer: Wrong type argument: arrayp, nil. When i searched stackoverflow, people with similiar problems are requested to change emacs poython path. People say you should chang your .emacs file to this (setq python-python-command "~/your/python/bin-dir/python"). The problem is i have no clue how you do this in emacs.... i have tried do m-x and then write this code and all combinations of that sentence you can think of. Would be so nice if someone could help me

Not saying that it the right way to solve the problem (I've never had to set the path to Python), but what they are saying is that there is a ~/.emacs file (assuming Linux here) that is loaded and read, when emacs starts up. You would put the line mentioned in that file.

Regarding emacs and Python, take a look at this: https://realpython.com/blog/python/emacs-the-best-python-editor/?utm_source=Python+Weekly+Newsletter&utm_campaign=c3a5d1d4a8-Python_Weekly_Issue_220_December_3_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_9e26887fc5-c3a5d1d4a8-312137149

It has info on setting up emacs for Python, which should work out of the box, IIRC.
