| 9 | +## Summary |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +PythonBox is a lightweight local-first Python IDE for Windows. It combines a PySide6 editor, PDB debugging, code folding, linting hooks, Git status/diff visibility, and optional handoff to VS Code or PyCharm. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +## Audience |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +- Windows users who want a focused Python editor without a full IDE setup. |
| 16 | +- Learners and automation builders who need run/debug/lint/Git feedback in one local desktop app. |
| 17 | +- LLM-assisted coding workflows where files remain local and users want a small GUI around scripts. |

| 31 | +## Disambiguation |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +PythonBox is not Jetify Devbox, Microsoft Dev Box, Box Python SDK, Pybricks, or a containerized development environment. It is a local desktop Python editor and debugger. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## Safety and privacy boundary |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +PythonBox does not include telemetry, cloud sync, bundled credentials, or built-in external service API calls. It opens, saves, and executes files only through user-triggered local workflows. |
