IDLE is the integrated development environment where you can write code withou it executing every time you press enter. You will then need to build and run your program. The command line will execute each command you type straight away. If you downloaded the software as instructed you will have both.

I am using the 3.2 version of python but i think, the interface of it are the same. in IDLE, you can create a program by clicking on the menu bar: FILE>>NEW WINDOW. A new window will open. There, you can create programs you can compile. You can run your program by clicking on RUN>>RUN MODULE on the menu bar.
