I know it's included with the python distribution, but the fact is that it's just not a very robust IDE.

There are many freely available IDE's just google 'python IDE'.
I use VSCode and am quite happy with it.
PyCharm is another great IDE, and has a community edition.

Thanks for that, I will follow your advice. I recently switched from Windows to Mac and this is one of the things I found inconvenient. On Windows, I could just go to file explorer, right click >"Edit with idle" and it would be as simple as that. Also, you can't make new documents by right clicking in finder, as you can in file explorer. I feel like switching back to Windows, but I have read a lot of advice online recommending Mac for programming.
