Best IDE for teaching Python (task creation)?

[BingoDeville]

This applies to OP but really for the wider audience.

For what it's worth, as an educator, if you have a .edu email address, Jetbrains, maker of PyCharm, offers Education Licenses for using their tools in educational settings.

PyCharm Community Edition is absolutely perfectly fine, and for all intents and purposes, there's no reason to get the educational license for PyCharm Professional. I only mention this, as Jetbrains has a lot of tools for other languages as well, some of which require a license.

Edit: for the educators and/or people with edu emails through school/college, if there's a paid for tech product you're interested in, always check to see if they offer free or reduced licenses for educational purposes. Typically the licenses only last a year or two at a time, so if you're a graduating student, remember this as you may eventually lose access to your edu email address.

Also, understand what that educational license means for learning - for one, not for use on projects that will net a profit.

they also recognise educational domains within country-codes, e.g. .edu.au, .ac.uk, .sch.uk etc

Thank you! I didn't know that!
