How to invoke the Python idle

Hi all
I am running openSUSE 10.3
I am learning python on my own, it seems like the system has already
installed a python IDLE
The question is how to invoke it?
Thanks

If it's anything like my Red Hat system, I had to find the
command first. In my case, at:

/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/idle/idle

I copied that file to somewhere where it was available on my
$PATH variable.

Did you try to enter idle in a terminal?
