I have hardly used it since I was coding python(yes, I got frustration with it as couldn't get it working
) and I might sell it if someone is interest 
I use Python quite a bit in Debian.
Maybe you could tell me what you are attempting to do?
From the terminal it should be as easy as typing: python <path to program file here>
Now if you are trying to do graphcal things you'll need to install the Pygame module.
I find a terminal editor works fine for programming.
There is less setup involved and you don't get silly "project" files.
