IDLE is a separate program from Python itself, right?  It's a GUI, or an
IDE, or a shell or something.

(Your session output doesn't seem to involve IDLE at all, so I am
wondering why you mentioned it.)

By typing "python" on your desktop, are you running plain Python, or
are you running IDLE?

Did you install Python and IDLE on the desktop machine separately?
Did both installations succeed?
