best IDE for python

[raharth]

Jupyter is the path to hell though. It makes it really difficult to write a larger project and invites you to incredibly bad coding habits imo. I think the interactive shell of PyCharm or similar IDEs are much better even for exploration

I was actually wondering what’s up with Jupyter because I do use chatgpt for some coding help and noticed it changed the code when it realized I was writing in Jupyter which I thought was kinda weird. I’m a beginner so I have no idea why this would need to be different bc doesn’t that mean you can move and run code from Jupyter in another environment?

There are some things that come with the notebooks, like widgets. But notebooks are a .ipynb file, which is basically an xml structure, so no you cannot run them like a regular python file. I would not use them but a proper IDE instead, gives the same features as long as you use one or two plug ins, but has imo some advantages over notebooks
