About This App

IDLE is Python's Integrated Development and Learning Environment, a simple but capable code editor and interactive shell that comes bundled with Python installations. It provides syntax highlighting, code completion, debugging capabilities, and an interactive Python shell for testing code snippets. IDLE is widely used by Python beginners and educators for learning programming, as well as by developers for quick scripting and prototyping. The app offers a clean, straightforward interface that makes it accessible to new programmers while still providing essential development tools. It's particularly popular in educational settings due to its simplicity and the fact that it's included with every Python installation.

Good news! A native Universal Binary version of IDLE is now available. Our community has confirmed that IDLE version 3.14.3 runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs. Since IDLE is bundled with Python, you can get the latest native version by downloading and installing the newest Python release from python.org, which will include the updated IDLE. The version 2.7.18 you're currently running is quite old - Python 2.7 reached end-of-life in 2020. Upgrading to Python 3.14.x will give you both the latest language features and native Apple Silicon performance. Simply download the macOS installer from the official Python website and install it to get the native version of both Python and IDLE.
