Hi I am a new python user just now working my way through Learn Python The Hard Way

I'm wondering what a good framework for python is? Especially for beginners if that's a thing. I have 2.x and 3.x installed but I'm reading in a lot of places that 3.x is the way to go so I'm gonna need a framework that's for 3.x work.

edit: Crap... is Atom text editor what I'm looking for? It says to download it but that's just a text editor. I'm guessing all I need is that at this point in my quest for programming skills.

All you need is a text editor at this point. Don't worry about getting fancy too quick. (I followed the same book and I and several pros I know recommend it to a lot of people, it's a very good intro) Shaw suggesting Atom is a new one, but I just checked and I guess he's updated it since I last looked at the starting chapters.

When you say "framework" I assume you mean an IDE - definitely overkill for you right now (unless you're used to using IDEs with other programming languages - but if you've been programming before, you probably already have a preferred text editor installed)

Ok thanks dude I really appreciate it. I'll just use Atom for now.
