As you stated you were a newbie, I thought I'd make it clear -- there is
no need to use IDLE to do Python. It's just one of many options. at a
minimum, all you need is a text editor and the command line. An editor
that has good Python support is best.. there are lots of those, as well
as a number of other IDEs.
I'd pick one and get rolling with Python!
Also, Python 3 is indeed the latest and greatest, but it is not in very
wide use yet, so you will encounter these frustrations. If you just want
to get something done with Python, 2.6 may be a better bet at this point
-- much of what you learn will be transferable.
