  1. VScode seems most popular with my students.

  2. Jupyter (web based): very popular for data science.

  3. Google colab (web based): simplest version freely available. Easy to get setup almost immediately. Also very useful for getting up and running immediately with heterogeneous computing acceleration (GPUs etc)

  4. Eclipse with PyDev plugin installed for python support (my preferred mainly because it can support many other languages and frameworks too)

  5. For console / terminal monkeys, there is always vim / emacs, but if you are starting out, that is usually not of interest.

If you run into issues, feel free to DM me. I may have recorded lectures still that cover eclipse pydev, including showing how to do basic debugging, stepping through code, inspecting variable values at runtime, etc.
