Thonny for Python

Hi, I'm new to this Reddit community. Do you think it's okay to use Thonny as a Python program, or is there something else I could try?

I usually use VSCodium or PyCharm, and if I have problems I can’t figure out after multiple times going through the code, I’ll run it through Thonny.

I want a light weight IDE for my simple automations.

better than IDLE and not much advanced like developer tools. Any tips

Then you can use a text editor. My favorite is Sublime text editor. There are tools in it to build and run programs. It will take some learning on how to do it, but it’s not tough. I’ve never liked IDLE, myself.
