Until I can get around to reviewing all the available editors and IDEs and you just want to get started, you may already have everything you need already on your system, even those without an X server running. Most GNU/Linux systems today include a Python interpreter. If you want something a bit more graphical most text editors for the Gnome and KDE desktop environments will serve quite well and will probably even have features like code highlighting and folding included. With most of these types of editors you will need to save your work and actually run the code manually in a shell. It isn't fancy but should do quite well for a beginning step until you start knowing what kind of advanced features you would want to have.

If you want something light but still designed to use with Python Idle is an excellent choice, and you may even already have it on your system.
