Just getting IDLE to start does not complete a windows install
The windows install page appears incomplete - part of installing on windows should include a discussion on using python from a windows command prompt, yet it is not even mentioned. If no one ever uses python from a command line (really hard to believe) then the "normal" way should be described and discussed. At link to this (Interpreter tutorial) with a mention of why we might need it would be useful.
As an example, if we are supposed to use pip to install additional python packages, we must get pip to run from some kind of command line (as the only descriptions of how to use pip are command line examples). Please at least point to (PIP install guide) and mention that python -m pip install -U pip
is likely the right way to upgrade pip for use. There is a huge gap for people who have never done this before.
