It's not difficult to get started with Python on MacOS. Just open terminal, type
python and there you are. Of course, this version is probably not the version you would like to work with but anyway - get started is as simple as entering 'python'.If you are not uncomfortable with terminal and profile/rc files you should consider getting familiar with them. You need general understanding sooner than later. If your intentions are serious then you could consider alternatives to IDLE. There are several options, I would personally recommend VS Code. There is nice tutorial written by snippsat VS Code from the start
There are free options to get started with Python without any installation whatsoever. To name a few: repl.it, Google Colab (Jupyter Notebook) etc.
