This is the website I have been using to get started with Python, it is very hands on, and you don't have to download anything to get started.

Is the included Python in LL suitable full for learning with IDE, or is it for functionality in LL, and I need to download it ?
I am looking for newbie suitable recommendations of an IDE for Python, on Linux Lite, it will be -
1/ without too many panes.
2/ no auto complete, or it can be turned off. Indent is okay if it's not error prone.
3/ not white pane background, or has function to change this.
4/ can load projects to test within/internally, and provide error jump to code line, or log of project, or produce errors gui.
I am also looking for recommendation of nice gui creator for use with the above.
I use Geany and Gedit. I'd probably use Gedit exclusively because I like the Cobalt theme and I don't feel overwhelmed with features, but Gedit doesn't have column select. Geany and Gedit are both available via the repository (ie. Install/Remove Software).
Thank you torreydale,
I have installed Gedit, it sounds ideal in your description as I don't want to feel overwhelmed with features either.
You don't need to download Python, by the way. It is already installed with Linux Lite and most Unix based operating systems by default, including Mac. All you have to do in Linux Lite is open a terminal and type in the word "python," and you'll be in the Python interpreter. To run a python program, you type in python and the filename, eg. python test.py. You have to be sure you either include the full directory path of the file or that you're running the command from the directory where that file resides.
