The IDLE IDE is nice. I liked the simple editor and the console but it could
be more helpful (etc. like the eclipse based IDEs) and perform better (if you
use some additional plugins like Tessaract OCR, IDLE uses too much of CPU, what
can be very annoying on older PCs).
However, the Python language is great and it can be very useful. The
syntax is very easy, and there's so many additional libraries in internet, that
make this language very powerful. With Apache server and CGI, it becomes very
useful to generate html code and apllications on the site.
P.S. It's only my advice but... Please, don't learn Python as your first
language. I know it's easy, but it's too... simplified.
You don't have to care about memory allocation, data types, so you can
earn some bad habits. It can be very problematic if you'll try to learn
languages like C/C++ in the future...
