It shouldn't do, IDLE is a nice aid but hardly essential for learning poython. You can use the basic command prompt. If you are on Windows you can also use Pyhonwin If you are on Linux you can use emacs and python-mode So lots of opportunities to progress with Python without using IDLE. > Please help.

No need for Linux, use Pythonwin, its part of the winall package if you haven't already installed it, or standard with the ActiveState version of Python. On Windows it beats IDLE on every count.
