Python is a good language that can be used as the first programming language. From that point of view, you can start from nothing.

However, you should know what is a text file, and you should be able to use a simple text editor.

There are IDE's that implement both editing and launching in an internal console (like the IDLE that is part of the standard Python distribution). However, I suggest to learn about what a console window is (cmd in Windows, some shell in UNIX-based systems).

You will probably use a normal graphical user interface (GUI) of a operating system (Windows or Linux) for beginners. From that point of view, I suggest to open one window with the edited Python program, and one console window where you will launch your Python script.

From a hardware point of view, any computer that works (even a very cheap/slow one) is good for learning Python.

From the software point of view, I recommend to start with the official distribution of Python 3 (https://www.python.org/).
