Which is compiler of those is better for python ?

Which is compiler of those is better for python ? Spyder vs Thonny vs Atom And keep in consideration that I need a light and fast one, because my device is not the best...

If you want fast and light, then IDLE that comes with the standard distribution of python at python.org is the lightest you can get. It's just a text editor with a bit of highlighting and keyword detection. There is a bit of a misconception that you have though. Python doesn't use a compiler, it uses an interpreter. Read up on the differences between them. The closest thing that can technically be called a "compiler" for python would be the tools used to package the interpreter and its imports into one executable, "freezing" it into an exe as it were. Though that's a stretch in my opinion.

The lesser known eric IDE runs smoothly on my old netbook. For comparison Spyder takes ages to even start on the same system. https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/
