Hi Ivan,

I suspect that the IDLE GUI might already be installed on your system, but
unfortunately, I can't test my assumption.  If you can tell us what Linux
distribution you've installed, one of us can probably figure out if IDLE
is installed by default.

IDLE usually comes bundled with Python, and I've written a brief
introduction to it:

Hmmm... Yes, there are a few nice IDE's that you may want to try.  Here's
a list of them:
