The official Python IDE is IDLE:

https://wiki.python.org/moin/IDLE

https://docs.python.org/2/library/idle.html

It's probably not a bad idea to at least evaluate this one.

a fit for the goal of _learning_ Python.

Sadly, nobody can answer this question in an "objective manner",
because superiority depends on too many factors, including your
own preferences, workflow, knowledge and experience, as well as
possible team guidelines, project requirements or system definitions.
