Python is an interpreted language, not a compiled language. This is
actually a good thing! What it means is that there is a "scripting engine"
(we just call it the interpreter) that actually executes everything for
you. That means that any operating system that has an interpreter written
for it is

That's really a question for you - do you want the features of an IDE?
Aptana includes pydev, and is built on eclipse which is a great
swiss-army-knife IDE. If you like KISS, vim is an excellent choice. Go with
whichever you are more comfortable using.

I'm currently trying to convert a digit from decimal to hex, however I need
the full 4 digit hex form. Python appears to be shortening the form.
