Notepad++ is a popular tool, I know. However, it's not exactly a Python development tool, it's more like an egg-laying pig in a poke.

You would simplify your life as a Python developer a lot if you used a dedicated editor. Something like PyCharm or VS Code. Whereby Pycharm - subjectively - is the better choice.

You don't even have to learn much new stuff. In the beginning actually nothing at all. Just start it, type in the code and save it. Like Notepad. If you then use my tool (POSER_FAKE), developing scripts for Poser becomes a piece of cake. Especially with PyCharm. PyCharm also alerts you to incompatibilities between Python versions if you have specified multiple Python versions.

As I wrote several times here: pyCharm for Python is available as open source version for free (no restrictions and regular updates): https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/
