When you open mininet just navigate to custom folder by typing:

cd mininet/custom

then type:

ls

which will show you the current files inside the custom file.
Then you can use the nano text editor to create or edit a python/text file, for example you can type:

nano custom.py

and it will open the custom file that has an example of using python code. Then you can exit it and save it as a new file.

That's how I started to edit and write python codes, then it will become easier once you learn how to SSH the mininet using putty.

good luck
