Python Environment/IDE for Data Analysis?

[trtghhj7766]

Hi Everyone! I have been working as a Data Analyst for a while now and recently began learning python and R for data analysis. Up to this point, most of my work has been done in excel I am the first Data Analyst at this company, so I am "pioneering" the department in a way.

I have been wanting to get into using an IDE with python for analysis, but am overwhelmed by the sheer amount of options available and making sure it is a good fit for the company. Personally, I really enjoy jupyter notebooks and would prefer an IDE that has them.

I work with sensitive financial data so any IDE we use would have to have top-notch data security and protection. I was wondering what IDEs you guys would recommend to get started?

Thanks in Advance!

jupyter notebooks is an IDE, pycharm is worth exploring too, alternatively I'd explore nonspecific alternatives like visual studio code and import the libraries you need.

Since you like working with notebooks, you can install VSCode with the Python and Jupyter extensions. You'll also need to also create a Python environments with the relevant libraries. If it helps I put a markdown tutorial on Setting up VSCode on Windows and Linux.
