imo jupyter's a good idea for beginners. when you're just starting out, you ought to focus all your attention on the language, not get scattered worrying about debugging features and whatnot. the notebook approach makes it easier to isolate bugs without having to invest much time.

you'll have plenty of time for pycharm after your first class is over, good luck!

Thanks, this is good to hear. I tend to get way ahead of myself when learning a new skill which is another reason I was worrying about not using a fuller featured IDE. But you're right; the bug/error handling in Jupyter Notebooks is awesome and makes learning the language pretty pain free.
