You can use any text editor to write your Python code. If you're using
nothing except Python, IDLE is excellent, but if you work with several
different languages, you may prefer Sublime, or Atom, or SciTE, or GNU
Nano, or something else. You can pick up pretty much any text editor
(not a word processor, and not Windows Notepad, but virtually anything
else will do) and use that to work on your code.

Without knowing what chapter of what book you're reading, I can't
advise any further.
