Most editors

Same thing still applies - you need to get it past the school admin gatekeeper.

If you're writing any language in like notepad, you're going to have a bad time. I accept your point that school administration may be making questionable choices about what software is installed, but that's not a problem unique to python.

that’s not a problem unique to python

No, but it's a bigger problem for C# than is is for Python (though this is changing now), so all the U.K.-based schools were teaching Python, rather than the more-appropriate C#. That was my original point - that's the dumb reason I had to learn Python, school admin's wanted the lower overhead of the worse language.
