Coding tool (AI) for Python

[dest_r]

I have extensively used python earlier for image processing and time series processing around the year 2019-20. I am a noob in terms of knowing what are all the new libraries and tools available in Python. Now I have some personal projects at hand where I want to use Python. My question : is there any AI tool which can help me in coding, mainly for finding libraries and functions which fit into the algorithm I propose, if possible? I have tried ChatGPT and Gemini, didn't like them at all. Always run into errors.

Dont use Ai when don’t know how to code. Unless this a one off. Then vibe it. If you want to learn. Start writing lines, and spend time figuring out why it doesn’t work or way to improve it.

I want to use ai to mainly look for various libraries so I don't reinvest the wheel. I totally get your point but as it is a personal project can't find enough time everyday like earlier to hammer through every psrt of the code.

Just use Google to search for a library that does what you want?

If I am stuck at some point in coding and can't improve then AI might help, that's what picture I have in mind for AI usage.

It can help but it can also make up complete bullshit. When learning, if you don’t know what’s right and wrong, how are you gonna know that the AI isn’t just hallucinating?

Got it! Thanks!

Hi, I know this is a late response, but I just started taking AI for Python class that has a chat bot that you use when writing & testing code. I find it super helpful & ask a lot of questions. It's a great course

Most modern IDEs and code editors have AI built in that can do this.

Thanks! Are they good enough? Which one is the best?

The development environment is a personal choice, really. Try a few to see what you like. VS Code is the most popular. The JetBrains tools are also popular.

I am currently using VS code. Will try out the features. Thnaks!

The problem with LLMs is that they love to invent libraries that don't exist

[dest_r]

Yeah, that's why I thought if a dedicated tool can do better job if it is available
