The Casio fx-CG 50 joins the HP Prime and Numworks to have Python programming. See the OS Update Information section: https://edu.casio.com/products/graphic/fxcg50/

A subscription is not required to transfer files from a fx-CG 50 files to a computer. All that is needed is the USB cord that comes with the calculator. When you connect fx-CG 50 to the computer, the calculator will offer connection choices. Select USB and the calculator acts like a USB drive.

I'm hoping that when you say you need the cable with the calculator, a standard usb cable will work - not something else.

And if you compare it to the TI's Python which seems better? TI Python Manual and a Middle school booklet for Python applications.
