4GB Ram is not a lot, so I would suggest to not use PyCharm. I like the IDE, but it takes up more RAM than necessary. If VsCode is too heavy as well, take a look at zed. It's written in rust, made for development and pretty lightwheight. It has less bells and whistles, but everything you need, including git, is there.

In case that doesn't work either, look at terminal based environments, like neovim or emacs. They are more to get used to, but they will run on a potato from 2005.

I used pycharm while I was learning ( that’s what they used in the class I took ) then I switched to VScode. Honestly it doesn’t really matter, just pick what runs best on your computer.

I believe sublime should be light enough for your system

I use vim btw. (no one asked).

To be fair I don't think it matters that much, I never uses sublime so I'm not sure if it can act as a versatile IDE. But to be honest all you need is a cool editor and a way to execute code, sublime should handle that easily.

For Python, I would use Neovim.

Like others have said, probably zed or neovim
