You pick. The phone picks. Who won?

Open the file

Type picks first. Winner later.

import random
you = input("rock, paper, or scissors? ")
phone = random.choice(["rock", "paper", "scissors"])
print("You:", you)
print("Phone:", phone)

choice picks one item from a list. A list is names inside square brackets.

Save and run one round

Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X.

What success looks like

You type a word. The phone prints both picks. That is a finished first version. Add who won one pair at a time: rock beats scissors, then paper beats rock, then scissors beat paper. A tie still counts.

If it breaks

Rock and ROCK are different text. you = you.lower() makes them match. An unknown word should get a kind message, not a crash. Do not build a tournament tonight.
