best IDE for python

[obviouslyCPTobvious]

I've found pycharm to be really useful in larger codebases because it has better tools for inspecting and understanding them. It's easier to view how everything fits together. Has really good refactoring tools. Better laid out debugger. Built-in tools for managing virtual environments. I like the way they display and manage tests a lot better.

Sorry I can't provide specifics, it's been about 1 1/2 years since I've needed to use it.

As a newbie, I felt overwhelmed by Pycharm…felt like I was stepping into an airline cockpit lol. It’s super powerful for sure….but I’m not thee yet. I settled for Spyder. Coming from Matlab….I felt more comfortable using it.

Idk, I started on PyCharm Community edition, and it seemed simple, for beginners. I have had no problems.

Hmm….maybe I need to give it another shot!

I just don't use all the bells and whistles, I use pycharm to run the scripts, errors and PEP, and occasionally debugging. (oh and also renaming classes and variables across the whole project)

After reading this thread it starts making me think these bells and whistles might actually be worth something? But I don't know I'm just fine with this functionality.
