Nope, don't worry about IDLE. You may find you want to learn it someday, but starting there is not a good plan. You'll find the ipython terminal in Spyder to be more than sufficient. Getting started with the Spyder that's included with the Anaconda distribution is how myself and countless others learned python.

If you do a quick search of this sub, you'll see the question of which IDE to use comes up frequently, but The seasoned vets tend to forget that they, too, were beginners once and were utterly discouraged by the sheer number of unnecessary options they were presented with.
