Start with IDLE, which will likely be available everywhere you use Python. The full instructions for using IDLE take up about two pages of text, which means it's lightweight, and it comes preconfigured with good Python integration. Learning a highly portable, industrial-strength program like Vim or emacs is something I highly recommend, but it's not necessarily a productive thing to do that at the same time you're learning Python. -- Neil Cerutti -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
