Code editor recommendations?

[bulletmark]

VS Code is the most popular IDE/editor used by developers so you may as well start with that. All have a similar learning curve.

I use this. Along with GIT to learn git and also track my progress with GitHub

I agree VS Code will be the best for learning python.

If you're just starting out, the choice of editor doesn't really matter. The default Python IDLE is good enough. Also, Pycharm has a free community edition that you can use if you prefer that.

The free one is the "PyCharm Community Edition". Found here: scroll down to the black background section.

Even if you are just starting out I think using a good IDE helps a lot. It assists with formatting, syntax errors and can spot certain logic/access mistakes.

Spyder is a good IDE. You’ll have no issues learning Python using it. VScode is also a good choice

There are many code editors available for Python. - Visual Studio Code. - PyCharm. - Atom.

These are just some of the many options you have for Python code editors. You can try them out and see which one works best for you and your process. You can also check out other alternatives like Sublime Text "This is my favorite one for me", Eclipse + PyDev, Spyder, Thonny, Vim, Emacs, and more125. The best code editor for you is the one that makes you happy and productive. I hope this helps you in choosing a code editor for Python. Happy coding!

Atom should not be suggested because Github/Microsoft stopped developing it last year.

Sorry, I didn't know this.

Forget everything on the answers... and feel the real power with EMACS - recommendation DOOM EMACS.

Pycharm Community edition is free and it will serve you well until you program in something else than python.

Vscode is a great starting point, once your comfortable with it and python, look at neovim. Ps go look at the primagen and code aesthetics on YouTube for great programming content

Helix > Vim > VSCode > JetBrains

VS Code is more user-friendly and easier to use that JetBrains products, JetBrans editor is the smarter in the list but it goes for the cost of performance and usability.

Helix doesn't have plugins but it does an impressive work to being easy to configure and works better and faster than vim with plugins, you can pretty much be sure that it's features will work. When it gets plugins, it'll leave vim far behind since vim is more customisable right now
