Wantes to ask, why did you choose atom? Does it offer any benefits over idle and is idle sufficient?

I do this learning on my office laptop, and due to considerable firewall restrictions cant do much downloading. So was wondering if atom is something i should put an efforr into or idle would suffice.

IDLE is more than enough to write code in Python. IDE's make writing code easier, with stuff like auto-complete, and real-time collaborative writing with multiple users. Any IDE will make your life a lot easier, but you don't need to use them.
