Idle python download for Windows
Here, we will be discussing how to get the answer to all questions related to installing Python on Windows.
What is IDLE?
Integrated Development and Learning Environment, or IDLE, is a shorthand. In terms of its language, it enables programmers to develop code quickly. Similar to Python Shell, IDLE may be used to run a single statement as well as write, edit, and run Python programmes.
Python scripts may be written using IDLE's fully featured text editor, which has tools like syntax highlighting, autocompletion, and smart indent. A debugger with facilities for stepping and breakpoints is also included. This facilitates debugging.

So you have to open a spare python file from the FILE option in the python IDLE.
Here for ease we will try to print a table of 5 in the python IDLE.
Code:
print("Table of 5")
for i in range(1,11):
print(5,"X",i,"=",5*i)
Output:

Table of 5
5 X 1 = 5
5 X 2 = 10
5 X 3 = 15
5 X 4 = 20
5 X 5 = 25
5 X 6 = 30
5 X 7 = 35
5 X 8 = 40
5 X 9 = 45
5 X 10 = 50
