You need a code editor that you are comfortable with. If you are already
comfortable with this IDE thing that you talk about, you can use it as
your code editor.

You can also use some other editor. If you like. If you are curious.
Even one that doesn't know about Python (but those who claim to edit
code by moving magnets over the hard disk are only joking. That's not
done).
