Start with IDLE, which will likely be available everywhere you
use Python. The full instructions for using IDLE take up about
two pages of text, which means it's lightweight, and it comes
preconfigured with good Python integration.

Learning a highly portable, industrial-strength program like Vim
or emacs is something I highly recommend, but it's not
necessarily a productive thing to do that at the same time you're
learning Python.
