It doesent work. Simply wont launch. Please fix this on the official repository
Great IDE, but unfortunately this version is quite outdated. I recommend going to the official website and getting the latest version.
The editor is quite appealing, but I guess it's not for a total noob. IDLE is simpler for newbies
I can't imagine doing serious Python development without it. Perfect for debugging and examining tricky programming problems. However unlike the windows install there are a lot of additional modules you must add yourself. Spyder tells you what these are when you click on the optional dependencies list on its help tab. I also recommend installing Tix for programs to use the TIx/Tk interface.
