You don't need a virtual environment to get started. It is very easy to get python running.

1) Run the windows installer 2) python3 3) print('Hello World')

Show me a language that is easier to get to hello world.

Also there's a simple IDE built-in, IDLE. It's not necessary to, say, learn emacs first to get started, or assembling your tooling from separate parts.
