IDLE is Python’s Integrated Development and Learning Environment. It allows programmers to easily write Python code. Just like Python Shell, IDLE can be used to execute a single statement and create, modify, and execute Python scripts.
IDLE provides a fully-featured text editor to create Python scripts that include features like syntax highlighting, autocompletion, and smart indent. It also has a debugger with stepping and breakpoints features. This makes debugging easier.
