I assume you are on Windows OS?
In which case you probably mean Notepad++ (like
in the C++ programming language)

It's a well known programmer's editor for Windows.

Note that it is not a Word Processor, it has
no support for formatting text (fonts, justification
etc) it is just a powerful text editor, which is
what you need for programming. Most importantly
it saves in plain text not in a binary or XML/HTML
format.

A web search for Notepad++ should find it.
However Python comes with a useful programming
environment called Idle which you can use instead.
It is Python specific whereas Notepad++ caters
for many languages but if you are starting out
in Python Idle is a fair choice and its already
installed!

I don't use Windows for Python work but last
time I looked it was called something like
Python GUI in the Windows start menu.

Not at all, choice of programming toolset is
a very personal opinion and you will likely
get several suggestions.

We won't laugh, its why we are here.

When posting questions always try to be as specific
as possible, post any code you have and the full
text of any error messages. Also post in plain text
if possibly, email servers tends to mess up code
otherwise.

A reminder of your OS and Python version is also useful.

Have fun,
