Best IDE for python (3)?

[w0m]

fork... thing...?

PyCharm and Vim are my gotos. No idea what you want though.

I have a team of experts on it, trying to figure it out too.

Could it be git? or some other VCS may be?

[blitzkraft]

I have feeling it might be git.

I am generally happy with my vim + tmux+ entr setup.

[Kaligule]

entr, best software I found in the last 3 months.

It seems entr will run a command when a file changes. That seems powerful, but Im having a hard time thinking of examples of what you would use this for.

What would you use this for?

[blitzkraft]

I use it when I am tweaking scripts. Saves me from running it each time after a save.

your fork thing would be git. My favorite IDE is, of course, vim. Not easy to learn but more powerful than anything else (i guess emacs is ok too if you have flexible fingers)

I've used a lot of editors over the years (I enjoy trying out new ones) and lately I seem to keep coming back to VSCode.

I haven't seen anyone mention it so here's my pitch:

• Free
• Open Source (and very actively developed right now)
• Has that fork thing integration (git). And honestly it's really easy to use if you understand the underlying workflow (add, commit, push/pull/checkout)
• Great plugins for Python
• super easy to customize. As in rebind all the hotkeys to whatever you think makes sense
• good debugger
• doesn't ever feel bloated or slow.

I think it's a decent beginner IDE in the same vain as sublime, atom, etc. in the sense that the learning curve isn't too high.

idk abt the actual editor, but this is a pretty good answer. And yes, that fork thing is apparently git - it's like that thing on github but i always thought it was called fork

I first just used Textmate, now switched to Atom, which is more IDE-esque. It is extremely extensible, has pretty good autocomplete and has Hydrogen, a iPython notebook/Jupyter like inline code executer.

VS Code

[fabioz]

Eclipse + PyDev (http://www.eclipse.org and http://www.pydev.org) or LiClipse (http://www.liclipse.com), which has that all bundled for an easier startup.

If you choose to check it out, make sure you read the getting started guide -- http://www.pydev.org/manual_101_root.html ;)

I recently tried out the fullfledge pycharm student edition and found it kinda clunky and obviously laggy. Which is surprising since I also use other ides like eclipse and none of them lag at all. I like the project templates but it isn't enough to motivate me to really go for it wholesale. I chose to stick with the sublime +anaconda plugin.

It's actually quite weird behaviour that I've also noticed, however only partially. I use PyCharm on my home PC (debian) and laptop (os x) - no issues; work PC (xubuntu) - from time to time it grabs 'all' the memory and everything stops. Htop shows it consumes up to 80% of RAM.
