What do you mean by a platform to program in? An IDE? (if yes) I personally hate IDEs, and I'd say go for a plain text editor with syntax highlighting. If you're on windows, Idle is a pretty good choice, it's in between a text editor, and an IDE, and was made for python, in python. [edit] I'm pretty sure Idle comes with Python on Windows & Mac |
