I have been using IDLE to program in python for the time being, and it is starting to get tedious to launch it from terminal. I have looked online to try to find a solution for this but haven't found out how to launch it in a typical Mac like way from spotlight (I have already tried putting it into the applications folder).
I am also open to any other suggestions for any better IDE's that work the same way as IDLE, with its own built in compiler.
Try Visual Studio Code, it comes with everything you need for Python development, including a feature to launch and test your program from the application.
It's free and open source, you can pick it up here :)
I prefer Pycharm IDE. It is a JetBrain Product

Have download my python set up and installed to my pc. Must I download pycham or I can us Visual Studio Code alone.
In my opinion, pycharm is the best idea available for Python.
It has good artificial intelligence on error detection and code completion.
You can use it alone, Pycharm is just an IDE. You can also use the IDLE interpreter that comes with python.

I was wondering if there is an online python interpreter with Pygame. It would be great if there is one, because when I share a game, I don't have to compile it first, I just send the code, and possibly upload the textures to a storage server and change the URL for the image location.
Is there an online Python interpreter with Pygame?
None that I'm aware of. Running a Pygame application in the browser would require some way of displaying graphics and playing sound from a remote Python interpreter. This would be pretty complicated to do, and would likely not perform very well anyway.
If you want to write games which run in a web browser, learn Javascript.

Continuing on with my Python learning, I just installed Komodo edit, are there any recommended add ins/extensions that I should include? Any recommendations on using it or another GUI designer (TkInter base)?
If you want to use Komodo, integrate it with Pylint as stated here (I do not know if it works with Komodo Edit, I have run it with Komodo then). It is a code checker, very useful for dynamic language like Python.
Also, there is GUI Builder, which is not an "add-in" but "add-out", it was already part of the Komodo, but it has been released as open source.
Komodo extension: Tab trigger for Abbreviations (http://community.activestate.com/xpi/tab-abbreviations). Can't live without it anymore.
Komodo edit is just a text editor.
For gui design I suggest Glade-3. It is specially juicy.
try using eclipse instead with PyDev.
I use to install MoreKomodo and TweakUI after putting Komodo on some machine for me.

I'm not sure if 'debugging' is the right word, but I'm looking for a tool/IDE that would show my which statement/block will be executed next in a particular module. This feature I remember was available in Turbo C++ years back so I assume something similar might be available in some Python IDE?
Thanks
pdb has this feature - there's a nice hands-on tutorial about it here.
pydev, the eclipse python plugin, might help if you're looking for an IDE solution.
Ulipad IDE's debugging feature is very good, its just works like Turbo C++ IDE's debugger.
At the commandline, there's pdb
In an IDE, Netbeans has a GUI debugger that some people like.
I use Netbeans IDE.. very good (and improving) python support..
you will have to install the python plugin if you download the standard installer..

pdb and winpdb both seem to be missing this essential (to me) feature. I saw something suggesting WingIDE has it but I'd prefer a solution that is free, and if I do have to pay, I'd prefer to pay for something that is better than Wing.
You should check out Eric4
It's a very good Python IDE with a builtin debugger.
The debugger has views for global variables, local variables and watchpoints.
Please look what pydev in eclipse offers...
Take a look at PyScripter. It has an integrated debugger, watch windows and much more.
It's open source and is developed here.
HTH
It's too bad that the standard pdb module that comes with python itself does not yet support watchpoints.
Described here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/PdbImprovments
This reimplementation of the built-in pdb.py has watchpoints.

I tried it but, in cursory tries was not able to get it to work.
