I strongly recommend IDLE - much
better editing/recall facilities than the command-line Python has),
and work through the tutorial:
Well, this is certainly a matter of taste. I'd recommend using some
small, language independent programmers editor and some modern
distributed version control system right at the beginning. Put your
code, even the smallest snippets, under version control, make that a
habit. Write small doctests for your code from the very beginning. Try
to construct your code so that it works equally well as a module and as
a standalone script Don't start developing web applications, write
some small utilities for your own needs, first.
Personally, I suggest SciTE and TortoiseHG on Windows, but that too is,
as I said, a matter of taste.
I don't edit code in IDLE, I just use it for interactive work. For
actual script editing, agreed (though I use git rather than hg), but
it really does help to have a way to *very* quickly test a line or two
of code.
I really REALLY like debugging with "eric"...
