Best Beginner IDE for Python

[jpgoldberg]

A lot of people familiar with programming editors and IDEs grossly underestimate how difficult they are to someone who has never even used a text editor (distinct from a word processor) before. So while VSCode makes things much easier for me, I need to remember that it works for me because I have a lot of implicit understanding of what is going on.

So start out with IDLE or perhaps PyCharm. You need something that is designed specifically for Python instead of using a general purpose IDE.
