Hi Brian,

Ever use No2Pads?

To me a better alternative to No2Pads, which doesn’t work at all, is Thonny. It’s a Python IDE, but it’s light and efficient enough to use as a text editor, but where it shines is when you use it as an integrated development environment (IDE) for Python 3, then it does really well, highlighting Python keywords and it includes a Python 3 running environment, so though light and fast, it’s complete.

I don’t need this for anything other than Python editing; actually nvim and Doom Emacs do quite well with Python too; they recognize keywords, and in the case of Emacs, you can configure a complete development environment and utilize an entire infrastructure that can compile, build, test and run many things, including a Python environment.
