Heya fellow new person 👋 the course I'm taking included an IDE called Thonny which is specifically tailored for new people because it shows you very visually what's happening. I wouldn't use it every time but when you're having a hard time understanding why something isn't behaving the way you expect it to, I found it very useful. There's also a web version called Python tutor that tries to do it as well but personally Thonny clicked better for me.
Install linux (WSL) with this tutorial (assuming you are on windows) and go through this tutorial to get used to it. To write python scripts, use vim and install this plugin.
I definitely agree about keeping it simple to start with - it really helps you learn what you're doing rather than using autocomplete to write code. I used geany when I was first learning.
