Best Lightweight Python Code Editor

About the App

Py-Hurts-My-Arm is a free, lightweight Python code editor made in Python. It is designed for users who want a fast, simple editor without the complexity of larger IDEs like PyCharm.

The name "Py-Hurts-My-Arm" comes from the fact that I don't like PyCharm, and wanted a more efficient, lightweight tool for coding.

My name is Mahdi Ali, and I am the youngest developer in Pakistan.
