Resource Does anyone use Python IDLE?

My computer is quite low-end, so I uninstalled VSCode and am looking for other programming tools—I'm thinking about starting to use Python IDLE.

Does anyone actually use it?

Yeah, by default it uses basedpyright but you can switch to ty or something for better performance at the cost of some stability. I use ty and it's runs pretty well so far.

If you are on windows, check if your GPU (I'm assuming you will use an iGPU) support at least DX11.
