- As someone who's working through the tutorials IDLE is perfect. I don't
need a fancy
IDE to get the hang of the language. When I get enough experience to write
large programmes
then my need for an all singing & dancing IDE will increase, but until
then......
- The set-up for IDLE is easy, I managed to do it first time. I downloaded
JBuilder and this package took me ages to set up so that I could use it even
halfway properly, this has put me off 'getting into' Java. Whereas after
about 2 mins, following the clear instructions I was able to start entering
Python code and see how the language worked, and have never looked
back.......
