I am attempting to learn python 3.
In ubuntu software software, there are python3, python interpreter (v3.1), IDLE(using Python-3.1), IDLE 3, python3-minimal, python3-all, etc.
Which python3 and IDLE should I install?
(or would it better to use apt-get instead?)

python3 is just a metapackage that will install Python 3.1, so you need just that, plus IDLE if you want it.

btw, what's the difference between IDLE for python 3.1 and IDLE3?
