(13,550 posts)I don't know what platform you're on, but here goes.
1. Apple kind of dropped python from MacOS (WTF?) so you can install python and more with Anaconda, which has download packages for windows, linux and mac.

2. I downloaded (free) two versions of Carnets on ios, which are basically your Jupyter Notebooks and more.

Others? Let us know in the replies.
No computer? No Problemo.
Python runs fine on el cheapo Raspberry Pi
Info (quite thorough) here:

We previously discussed Basic.
I found that the Basic! that runs on ios also runs on macs with OS > somethingorother, and on Apple Silicon (I use Ventura until the bugs with Sonoma are worked out .... which is usually by the next buggy release)
Alternatives: (untested) There may be lots more. One is enough for me now. Just for fun and memories.
BBC Basic for mac (intel, so it runs under emulation with Apple Silicon)

Chipmunk Basic

Gambas

Well, it runs on Raspbian (Raspberry Pi) and about every Linux known.
I'll get a newer Raspberry Pi soon.
I have the "original" model and will keep that and the first arduino for my history museum.
