IDLE stands for Integrated Development and Learning Environment. It is an integrated development environment (IDE) for Python. By default, the Python installer for Windows will have the IDLE module but not IDLE is not available by default in Python distributions for Linux. It can be installed by using the respective package managers. For example, in the case of Ubuntu:

$sudo apt-get install idle
