1 suggestionGood news! A native Apple Silicon version of IDLE is now available. Our community has confirmed that IDLE v3.13.5 runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs as a Universal Binary. You should update to the latest Python version (3.13.5 or newer) from python.org, which will include the native IDLE. Simply download and install the latest Python for macOS from the official Python website - this will replace your Intel-only version (2.7.18) with the current native version. Note that this is a major version upgrade from Python 2.7 to 3.13, so you may need to update any scripts you're working with to be compatible with Python 3 syntax.
