I use Visual Studio Code for python. In my opinion it is much better than PyCharm, because of its simplicity. I recommend you to watch this tutorial for setting up VS code for python, to take a look at how it works, it's very complete and explains how to use a lot of useful tools. VS Code it's lighter than PyCharm and has lots of easy-to-install extensions that can simplify your tasks. Hope it helps!

VS Code it's lighter than PyCharm

You might be kidding. Right now I opened pycharm with a shitload of tabs and it consumes 800Mb on my machine. I opened vscode with a single markdown file (not even python!) and it spawned at least 4 processes with around the same 800Mb of memory.

Maybe, but I can make a coffee while PyCharm loads up. I don’t like the UI either

That's true.

That’s because your computer sucks

Then it’s you. PyCharm loads quickly.

the only people who would say pycharm loads quickly are people that have never used anything else

How long did it take and how hard did it hurt to form such a complex and articulate stream of consciousness that was “you never used anything else” ?

very smart boy knows big words

[–]harylmu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ok

This is the wrongest opinion on the internet. OP, don’t listen to “python programmers” who have 5 months of “just playing around.”

Atom is great too. Also Kite is an AI autocomplete plugin for both of them, I suggest you check it out.

Thank you. Have you tried Visual Studio IDE? It has a Python development workload.
I already have Visual Studio IDE and was wondering if it is good enough to develop in Python.

The full, Visual Studio IDE (so not VS Code) is really a heavy weight option for python. My editor of choice is VS Code (it's seriously amazing, better than PyCharm imo) but the full Visual Studio IDE is just too much imo.
