 The module is not installed. Read pyfasta installation instructions. 
Usually it will be
pip install pyfasta

I would suggest sublime 3 personally. It is straightforward to use out of the box and later you can install a bunch of plugins once you get a bit more advanced that can help your coding.

I assume by your name you are a lady (or identify as such), are you aware of the PyLadies Meetup?
