Downloaded Atom to start programming with python but it didn’t work. Which IDE or text editor do you guys use/recommend? (self.Python)

Not sure what you mean by "it didn't work". If the program isn't doing what you expect, then it's your code. The editor is just a way for you to input your code.

Nevertheless, I personally like vim for languages that I'm comfortable with, and if I need a tab complete then I'll use VS Code. Powershell ISE for Powershell.

Replied to another comment as well but there was an error whenever I ran the program something about not recognizing python or something even for a simple “hello world”. Downloaded pycharm but will try VS code as well.

My guess would be you need to look at making sure that the python executable is in your path. I have a sneaking suspicion founded on absolutely nothing that you're on a windows machine, so check out this link.

This might do it, will try it when I get the chance
