As the title suggests, I've finished the python course on code academy and want to progress.
I was thinking of making some kind of little game or a collection of solutions to http://projecteuler.net - but I want to do so with an actual GUI rather than just command-line. Can anyone recommend any decent python IDEs with good support for GUI that aren't super complicated to use?

Pycharm and Pydev are pretty sweet and simple to use. I usually use Visual Studio, but it is very very annoying for Python and switched to Pycharm (=_=)

You could start using tkinter, or pygame. Are you fully prep on Object Orientated concepts (Inheritence,encapsulation etc)
also if you wanna build a GUI in python then you need to install packages with pip... not sure if they use this on codeacademy because it's all browser-based but anyway pip is a package-installer similar to NuGet if you use .NET before? anyway with pip you just enter a simple command like "pip install -scikit-learn"... except it won't be scikit learn because that's not for GUIs. I hear a good one for graphics is called Kivy, do a web search on that and you should find how to install it with pip
you can enter this command into the basic command prompt for windows or the linux/mac terminal once you have fully installed Python on your machine... To "fully install" Python I recommend you download Anaconda or Anaconda 3 for Python 3, you can always have both installed but you can only have one linked to each project environment so make sure you don't confuse the two.
Also there's a terminal in Pycharm that lets you install packages with pip but I'm old school so
Anyway I wish you the best of luck in your coding endeavours

We have languages like C, C++, C# and Java, but you'd rather make a game using Python as the main language? Right....

Having a play around with Pycharm now, and will have a look into Kivy tomorrow. Cheers!
