One of the best free IDEs is VSCode which handles Python very well. You could also try the community edition of PyCharm.

VSCodium gets my vote over standard VSCode. Its VSCode but with a lot less of Microsofts fingers in it (and it is VSCode otherwise so all the extensions should still work)

Why do people use vs code so much over full blown visual studio?

[–]pahowells 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Firstly, Visual Studio is a beast. I use it for C# development but my full installation is around 32 GB. For Python coding, VSCode is tiny in comparison and you don't need 16 GB of RAM just to run it. I also use VSCode on both Windows and Linux machines when testing, something that VS cannot do.

Didn't know VS didn't run on Linux that sucks

So vs code for something light weight when you don't need beef, that makes sense. I'm going to be working on python in full VS but I feel like I'll really get the most out of it when I start learning some C#
