I do not know anyone who uses visual studio as their IDE for Python. Look into things like IDLE (comes with python), pycharm, sublime...etc. Lots of python specific IDEs out there.

Thanks for your quick response. However, I noticed that the free community version of PyCharm does not support Flask or Django for web apps. What is in your opinion the best free available IDE to develop Python web apps?

I am not totally sure what you mean by "support." You can write your flask app in something like pycharm, then run it via terminal/cmd.exe without any issues.  

My opinion is that the best IDE is the one you like working with best. The IDE I use is IDLE, which comes with your installation of Python. It's a stupid editor, doesn't have any useful functions beyond auto indent...and most people hate it. I like simple editors, but most don't. Just try a few and go with whatever you like.
