If you don't know anything about emacs, and you don't know anything 
about Python, why do you want to make things ten times more difficult by 
learning a new language AND the most heavyweight, complex editor at the 
same time?

I recommend you use a more friendly editor. You haven't mentioned what 
operating system you are using. If you are using Linux with the KDE 
desktop, I recommend you use a good, modern GUI editor like Kate as your 
editor. Other people might prefer different editors, but I've come to 
like Kate the best.

Personally, I recommend against IDEs. I find that they are 
over-complicated and get in the way. I've seen too many people 
struggling because their IDE changes the way their code works. I 
recommend you keep your code open in an editor, an interactive session 
open in a good xterm, and a second xterm tab open for running your 
script. That's my preference.

But, if you still want to use Emacs as a Python IDE, have you tried 
searching for "python emacs ide"?
