Someone recently made a post similar to this, you might want to check it out: 

A low-end laptop will most likely do fine running any lightweight editor, I wouldn't install anything large like visual studio, though

A basic code editor with syntax highlighting like VS or Atom and run it in terminal/cmd

You might want to try IDLE, it is pretty barebones but is very lightweight.

Very light weight and has all the features you will need. The only con is that it has old style Ui.

Geany is just a code/text editor, if you want to run python code then you need python.

Based on this comment I assume you've got python already installed.

Most editors don't come with python installed, but as shadow_ray explained, if you already used python with another editor (and as long as you didn't uninstall python or change the PATH environment variable) it should work fine.

I meant python parsing is built-in, i.e. it's not like VS code where you install a python extension to have coloring/parsing etc. Maybe that wasn't the question, of course you need python installed and accessible from the PATH.
