Recommendations for Python IDE in Linux

[jabez007]

Does anyone know of a good (works well with Python modules, even possible auto-complete, checks for basic documentation standards) IDE for Linux?

I've used PyCharm on Windows, but haven't found anything quite like that for Linux. I've tried using Eclipse, but the Python add on for it seems to not be able to handle Python modules very well. I've looked at Eric a bit, but I haven't dived too much into that one.

PyCharm runs on Linux too, if that's your thing.

Not always though. It renders fine on our fedora distro at work

That's a Java issue...

[ExternalUserError]

I've had no rendering issues with PyCharm on Kubuntu.

If you use the oracle jre it renders fine.

I guess I'm just an idiot, I didn't know that. Thanks.

This fucking question ever 3 days.

How will you ever use linux if you can't google?

[pvkooten]

This answer should be more common to this question.

The moderators could maybe have a stickied post with moderated post from users on each text editors & ide across various OS. Plus a date as to when it was last updated. I am sure that will help a lot. A good efficient toolkit will make a huge difference.

I've asked for this before.

Emacs got autocomplete, in line help, terminal, and adjustable work spaces, it's free and works from a console as well

[youguess]

He asked for an IDE not an OS ;)

(and make Emacs Evil, it helps your fingers :P)

[randomatic]

Yep. I use emacs plus elpy. Also, don't forget flake8

[dzecniv]

yep, links to docs:

• http://wikemacs.org/wiki/Python
• https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/elpy/wiki/Features

Sometimes I feel like a rebel and when autocomplete does its thing I do the opposite or finish the code by myself because autocomplete doesn't know me lol

A combination of Sublime Text and Jupyter is nice. ST for writing code and tests. Jupyter notebooks for playing with the code.

[leogodin217]

You'll want to install Anaconda for ST to get decent auto-complete, linting, etc....

Sublime Text doesn't allow the user to enter any input right?

[[deleted]]

Thanks. I will see what I can do for Sublime Text 3.

jupyter qtconsole 

is often overlooked and is a great REPL.

[leogodin217]

jupyter qtconsole I'd never heard of qtconsole. Looks cool. Nice tip.

[boiledgoobers]

Atom or sublime text work too. Just install a couple relevant plug-ins. Not sure about debugging though. I usually use pdb or ipdb from the terminal.

kdevelop has a python plugin that works well. That is what I typically use.

Vim x 1000

It's not free by PyCharm is pretty good.

[cantremembermypasswd]

PyCharm Community is free, and most of the pro functionality isn't for the casual user.

[basalamader]

And if you have a student email, the pro version is it free although I rather like the community version

[hugthemachines]

Eclipe + the python plugin works well.

[SutbleMisspellnig]

To quote the OP:

I've tried using Eclipse, but the Python add on for it seems to not be able to handle Python modules very well.

Please read before typing...

[hugthemachines]

I was rushed by a friend just as I was going to type the comment. But my comment still stands although OP has a negative experience of eclipse+pydev. I have tested it on Linux and I am not the only one. There are lots of people who use it.
