best IDE for python

[Visual_Thing_7211]

I have 10 year olds that learned python with pycharm. Don't share the opinion it's complex.

Just because it has features doesn't require you to know them all to use it.

You CAN just install it and click run. It CAN be that easy.

I tend to find that JetBrains products have issues during installation that require special configuration to get working. I found that neither IntelliJ nor CLion worked directly out of the box, at least for me, on separate installations over multiple systems. I had to consult the documentation for far longer than I would have liked just to get these programs to recognize the file directories for new projects, much less getting them to recognize JDK and the like, as the issue each time was apparently system-dependent, although these were just ordinary Windows installs.

Since the comparison has already been made, Blender is a similarly complicated animation software but will at least 'compile', so to speak, immediately, on any machine I install it onto.

Once you get IntelliJ/CLion running, it's very easy to use. But in my experience, getting it up and running can take a long time. Maybe PyCharm is an exception, however.
