    I’ve been there. I’m not a python dev by trade, but I had to do a lot of python coding while in an Incident Response position for parsing log files from multiple sources before our internal EDR platform added that feature.

    VS Pro was miserable. I was issued a 14” 4 core laptop with low clock speeds, and I would be waiting significantly longer than necessary for that bloated IDE to process things, and my usable screen real-estate for code was tiny. It made me miss the neovim setup I had on my personal laptop so much

    Thankfully, my boss eventually told me that the allowed software list was larger than what was on the software download portal and I was able to get VS Code and gvim, and I finished that contract with a semi-comfortable setup. If you complain to IT enough, you can probably get a much better IDE.

    In the meantime, see if you’re allowed to use jupyter. If you are, you can use the jupyter in browser editor for prototyping and debugging
