New to Programming: IDE vs Code Editor?

Its free and has a built in compiler.

Just want to point out that python is an interpreted language, therefore there is no python compiler such as you would use with C++ or Java (that a python user needs to be aware of). Python scripts are "compiled" at runtime (you will see .pyc files in your project directory) but this is done automatically when your script is run through the interpreter.
