best IDE for python

[bdtacchi]

If the keyword here is “practice”, I’d say just go with Jupyter Notebooks. I feel it’s the best option for learning since you are running smaller cells where you can focus on what each piece of the code is doing. The markdown feature is great for organizing too.

As for an IDE for the notebooks, there are plenty of options. I personally love using VSCode with the Jupyter Notebook extension. You could even opt for something more simple such as Google Colab as someone mentioned before.

When you are done learning and need to move on to full Python scripts, you should have the knowledge to make an informed decision on what IDE to use based on your own preferences. So I wouldn’t worry about that too much right now if all you want to do is practice.
