Perhaps you are trying too hard too fast.  When I started Python, after
20 years of on and off experience with multiple languages, I went
through the tutorial (on Dos, no Idle).  It took about 2 hours. Then I
quickly wrote the code I needed for a paid project.

Do stick with 3.4.2, but use the 3.4.2 manual.

Definitely not.  It is possible that Python will never fit your brain. 
But give it a bit more of a chance.

Because you have told it to do things like run a program with syntax 
error, or import something that does not exist.  I don't know of any 
language than does that ;-).
