+I chose these import statements just to make my close look cleaner
+For this to work you would just need to import cocos and then add the subdirectory after
+Ex: self.label = Label(...) would be self.sprite = cocos.text.Label(...)

+from cocos.text import Label
+from cocos import scene
+from cocos.layer import Layer

+# This code is an explained version of the Hello World example from the Cocos2D Python documentation
+# We will be making a simple game that displays the text "Hello World!"
+
+# First I create a class that extends the Layer class from the Cocos library.
+# If you don't know what this is you should probably take an object oriented programming course first
+class HelloWorld(Layer):
+    # Each python class needs an __init__ function that is called when an object is instantiated
+    def __init__(self):
+        # First you need to initialize the parent class, Layer, which is why I called the super function in this case
+        super(HelloWorld, self).__init__()
+        # First I make a Cocos Label object to display the text.
+        hello_world_label = Label(
+            "Hello World!",  # The first thing the Label class requires is a piece of text to display
+            font_name = "Times New Roman", # The next thing we need to input a font. Feel free to replace it with any font you like.
+            font_size = 32,  # The third input I give is a font size for the text
+            anchor_x = 'center',  # This input parameter tells cocos to anchor the text to the middle of the X axis
+            anchor_y = 'center'  # Similar to the input above, this parameter tells cocos to anchor the text to the middle of the Y axis
+        )
+
+        # Now I need to give the text its position.
+        hello_world_label.position = 320, 240
+
+        # Lastly I need to add the label to the layer
+        # self refers to the object, which in this case is the layer
+        self.add(hello_world_label)
+
+
+# From here the code is pretty typical for a Cocos2D application
+# First I need to initialize the cocos director
+# The director is the part of cocos that "directs" the scenes. Cocos is pretty partial to this type of film language
+director.init()
+# Lastly I run the scene. This line of code is pretty long compared to the others, so I'll explain what each part does
+# To begin I call the director's run function, which allows it to run the scene by placing layers within
+director.run(
+    # Next I create a Scene object that allows me to string the layers together. In this case I only have 1 layer
+    scene.Scene(
+        # And lastly I create the layer that we made above inside of the new scene
+        HelloWorld()
+    )
+)
+
+# That's it! Run it and see what happens
