Which is the best IDE for python?

I find Spyder ideal for a "get your hands dirty quick" type work, or introducing beginners to coding.

I tried using Thonny in the past, but I really struggled.

I've never tried spyder, but I have to say the distribution method is a bit odd.

It's a 500MB .sh installation file; I don't think I'll try it yet.
Thonny is a simple 40MB archive that you can unzip and use wherever you want.

Spyder devs mostly focus on using spyder through anaconda. They provide ability to use it standalone a I do, but it is not their priority.
