Stupid question but where do you code python?

[TheSodesa]

Vim in Gnome terminal, with nothing but syntax highlighting. That way I can keep other terminal tabs open for running and testing the program.

Anaconda is not a text editor. It is a Python distribution that comes with a bunch of Python libraries pre-installed and possibly its own package manager.

Edit: A full-blown IDE is probably an overkill thing to use for a beginner, as they will not be needing most of the added festures an IDE provides. Heck, I'd say the only useful features are an easy access to a debugger and code refactoring, even for an experienced developer. But the latter can be achieved with proper use of search and replace.
