What is Python's normal environment (Not Windows)?

I have to learn Python for work. I have WSL and Ubuntu set up. I work on Windows. But, what is the environment Python runs on? Is it on Linux?

So, Linux is the "normal"/usual/common environment?

(you will need a source level debugger that understand Python and how python uses C & C++ structures to get the same effect. (or you need to delve in Python interpreter source code how it organizes the various data elements).
also you can use the interpreter of the language to interactively develop, great for learning).

Does this mean Spyder can't debug and step thru the code. I did a sample Python in VSCode and I can set a debug step and step thru the code.

Pretty sure you can debug/step through Python code when using Spyder.

Good. Thanks

I meant that if you want something else as spyder to step through python code it will quickly come quite some work.
