2.7 is indeed out of support but it should still work.
Can you try it in the terminal app and see if it works there?
It may be a Tcl/Tk issue which is causing IDLE to fail.
(IDLE is built using tkinter which, in turn, uses Tcl/Tk)

It should work, but I'd strongly encourage you to jump to
Python 3. Your tutorial might not work of course but there
are many, many, online tutorials(including mine!) based on
Python 3.
