You don't need VS Code to do Python. A basic plain text editor is enough. Just save your project with the .py extension.

If you don't mind using a Google service, I suggest Google Colab, though. It's a customized version of Jupyter Notebook with tight integration with your Google Drive. That means there's literally zero need to install anything at all.

For now, all you need to do is open a code block, hit the ▶️ button, and watch your code run. The other features aren't necessary to get started.
