Install a Python IDE
An
Integrated Desktop Environment (IDE) is a software application for programming. In addition to simple text editing they have all kind of features such as syntax highlighting, code completion, tabs, a class browser and many more.
Online Python Interpreters
The online interpreters may not work for everything but will work for most of the beginner tutorials. I recommend using a desktop IDE or the official Python interpreter.
