<b>1. I want python for free. How can get it ?</b><br />
<br />
Python <b>is</b> free. You can download python from the official python website. Just type python in google and you should have no difficulty downloading it for your platform. If you can't get past this stage then reconsider your option on being a programmer because you lack the bottom line skills of browsing the web looking for basic information.<br />
<br />
<b>2. What IDE do you recommend ? </b><br />
<br />
<i><b>IDE</b></i> stands for Integrated Developement Environement. Linux programmers are often very happy with just <i><b>text editors</b></i> because the console <b><i>is</i></b><i><b> </b></i>their IDE. They can virtually do anything from their console : start their program, see the results printed, launch the python debugger, the python lint checker, a GUI builder of their choice etc. For people not using linux, they generally don't have powerful consoles and thus prefer to have everything they need accessible from one location : the IDE.<br />
<br />
You can choose from a list of more than a dozen of IDEs here, depending on your platform, needs and tastes : <a href="http://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments?action=show&redirect=IDE" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments?action=show&redirect=IDE</a><br />

Actually,<i> </i><b><i>you can use</i></b> Visual Studio to create python application by installing IronPython, which is a version of python that is compiled for the .Net framework. If you don't have Visual Studio, you might want to check </div>
