IDLE stands for Integrated development and learning environment. IDLE provides an integrated environment for a python. When you install a python in your desktop IDLE is installed by default. It works the same in all platforms like Linux, Windows, and macOS.  In the Linux operating system, IDLE is installed by default with python.

The feature of IDLE are:

• It is coded purely in python, using the tinker Graphical User Interface (GUI) toolkit.
