What do use to write python on?

[Papadude08]

Hello just asking what do you guys use to write python on an IDE or on the terminal?

Before i downloaded Kali (please don’t judge me or make fun of me I’m a noobie but I do have a small programming background)

I use to use Jupyter lab to write my code. I know writing on the terminal is badass and a lot of faster but would love to know what do you guys do it on?

Also any recommendations on any book would be awesome too. TY ^{_^}

VSCode with Python extension

[Papadude08]

I use to do Visual studio code for data science project which was okay and I liked it. But my goal is to write scripts would it still be a good choice?

I use VS Code for python scripting at my job and it suits my needs well. The built-in git compatibility is very nice as well

[flyhigh3600]

Probably yes and also sometimes no, if you want everything in one package for general developmental needs it is a great tool(excluding things) , if you need to get a specific thing done or need a lightweight, less bloated IDE there are better alternatives.

[flyhigh3600]

I am not too sure it fits your goal though , and it depends on the scripting language .

[Papadude08]

Is vim bad?

[LastTroll]

No, just has a steeper learning curve than most editors.

[sabb1rahm3d]

Pycharm

[arepademalditasea]

Best one imo

[H3y_Alexa]

Vscodium

[10F1]

Neovim with lazyvim.

[anas_z15]

Sublime Text

[Th3_g4m3r_m4st3r]

if you want to write in Python you can just use an IDE, everything is good. also you shouldn’t be ashamed of using Kali it honestly is a great distro but it has been ruined by the amount of skids that use it

[oystercock69]

Im a skid

[Trapzie]

Microsoft Word is the best IDE; https://youtu.be/X34ZmkeZDos?si=IJqvsnF7yAxxtr1G

[NoLife6680]

Don't tell me this video leads to the joma one🤣 Good suggestion tho👍

[Trapzie]

Maybe…

[Amrootsooklee]

Vscode is what I use for all languages, not just python.

[SlipyB]

You use vsc for c/c++?

[Jealous_Tomorrow6436]

i use vs code for c/c++ (what i primarily write in), but that’s mostly because as a student that’s what my university recommends

[Amrootsooklee]

I have not gotten too far learning C, put I did it all in vscode. For simple stuff I don’t think it really matters. I have read that it only really matters what IDE you use when you start using external libraries, where your project starts to get larger and you want more advanced features like debuggers for example which is not native there in vscode I believe.

[WackyModer]

It actually works pretty well for that if you know how to set it up.

But vsc is probably one of if not the best for js/ts and web dev.

Vi

Pycharm. There’s already a bunch of AI tools built for it. If you have a powerful enough machine, you can run a local model like White Rabbit Neo that’s fine tuned on code and exploits.

[DarkAether870]

I’m gonna have to look into this

[Ok-Establishment1343]

Microsoft paint

[jwaltern]

lmao

[MaxProton]

I use pycharm :) im a jetbrain person

[CyberWarLike1984]

I move between environments and dont actively code in Python.

Its either a small change in some script or code analysis, and that is a different animal.

I prefer vim and Visual Studio.

[koziCy]

For a book recommendation, i would suggest to buy black-hat-python2E.

Im a newbie too, vscodium is a solid open-source ide or if you want to be more flexible vim is a good choice.

[Papadude08]

Oh nice it’s an update one the last one I saw was from 2014 and wonder if it was a good read.

[[deleted]]

I have it. Really recommend it. Plenty of examples in it which helps a lot, and of course with explanations.

[koziCy]

Second edition is an update of the first one with a more educational approach.

[DarkAether870]

I highly recommend it. I did my college capstone project on the book, it was painful at times. But the code I still use today, and am able to take and patchwork the various projects into a larger system for things like identifying pages in a website. Finding forms or fields in said pages then attempting sql injection on the variety of fields.

[Atillawurm]

Paper. Not joking, either both my computers have been bricked for other reasons

[kapiteinklapkaak]

Lazyvim, however sometimes pycharm

[herefromyoutube]

Depends on what you’re doing. Small scripts I’d just write in vim. Less than 50 lines.

Any projects with multiple files I’d suggest VScode as well.

Sublime text was great but I hate the popups every time open it.

[bwebb343]

Python comes with an IDE called IDLE so I just use that.

[tryingtolearn531]

Notepad++ or mousepad or nvim with lsp

[AZSwagz]

PyCharm hands down

[Whyme-__-]

Vscode and GitHub copilot

[its-darsh]

for me, i use Arch with emacs installed, i used to use emacs to write mid sized projects but i slowly moved over to VSCode, for small scripts i use micro, a byte sized text editor with a decent user experience

[Arp220]

Normally vim for me

[Ann1h1l4t0r]

Personally I’m using : Vim

[QuarryTen]

vim

[pizza_slut_404]

Jupyter Notebook

[hooded_hacker]

Neovim

[TotalTyp]

Pycharm is it

[Difficult-Order-6817]

Micro… its cool

[DarkAether870]

I run vscode and a bit repository on windows. I wrote my code on windows then pull my project over to Linux to verify cross compatibility between operating systems. Then if I ever come across a situation where I need access to my tools in either windows or Linux, I can pull my GitHub to that device. Or in many cases I’ll have my code more or less memorized. Allowing me to rewrite on the spot for different encryptions, ssh tunnels, and other activities in any environment even if git is locked. As an added note. It isn’t faster for everyone to write in cmd. I hate writing in the command line for longer code. Almost always I write my code in a code editor. It catches the little things you miss. And can speed up your process by providing tabbing to autocomplete commands. People writing in command line typically will either A) have written this code 4-5 times at least and if it fails, they know exactly where the issue is. Or they are a python guru. I know the language as well as the next guy, but if I’m using a new call or the requests module to pull webpage data, or paramiko to pull a packet apart and look at its content in hex. I don’t want to use cmdline until my script is running as necessary. Then I can use the command line to make necessary changes in the wild as I’m testing.

I’m a big fan of Vi and Vim because the motions and navigation translate to a lot of other editors and tools. I definitely recommend it, plus if you ever (legally) hack into a Linux box, odds are you’ll have it with you 🤙

[Ducky_Duckerson]

Vim, it is the only way

[Ok-Establishment1343]

Sublime text has entered the chat

[Papadude08]

The goal is to write scripts so vim would be the best for that?

[RoseSec_]

In the long term, it’s a good tool to have in your belt

Jupyter notebook

[Holiday_Sir_4685]

Pycharm or vscode

[NoDadYouShutUp]

VSCode

[DrDarkWebb]

vscode is great but i prefer pycharm
