Code Programming, Python.

I do some Python programming in windows, understand how to use python in windows... However I do not know how to use python in Linux. I do know the commands n such are the same but there isn't any IDLE or anything its ran straight from the terminal by typing python but I have never used python that was like

Code:
Python Version 2.x.x or whatever it says here
>>

\

So can I get a little bit of explanation here?

Even in Windows, python doesn't have a built-in IDE, they're separate beasts. That's the difference between the 'python runtime' and whatever else.

There are lots of IDE's available for Linux if you want them, Eclipse being one of them.

You can use IDLE on Linux as well. If your distribution's python does not include it by default, then poke around their forums or query your package manager.

You're looking for a file named idle.py.

A quick search for idle.py using Debian's online package database shows that, for python 2.6 and 2.7, IDLE is a seperate package. For python 3.2, however, it's included.
