You can just type your python program into BBEdit, save it as myapp.py or
some such, and press Cmd+R to run it. BBEdit will open a window with the
output.
If you want an interactive Python, you may use the Terminal app - it can be
set to a bigger font size in its preferences. Just type "python" followed
by the return key into it and you can start putting in Python code - try
"print("Hello world!")" ;-).
PyCharm is a good choice, it's my preferred Python IDE. But you're right in
that the fonts of the output window could be bigger. For smaller projects I
use just BBEdit.
OS X comes with Python 2.7 preinstalled - to learn programming you don't
need a higher version than that (and also later on it's sufficient for most
tasks).
