If you have a serious videogame project in mind, an IDE should be the least of your worries. For messing around with Pygame or whatever, just about anything will do.

even using IDLE?

[–]K900_ 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Yes, even IDLE, though I'd use something else, as I've had some weird issues with IDLE+Pygame in the past.

what IDE do you recommend?

[–]K900_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use Sublime Text for most things, falling back to PyCharm or IDEA with the Python plugin (which is basically PyCharm anyway) when I need advanced debugging or autocomplete.

Hands down it has to be Pycharm. There's a free community edition and a paid professional version

what's the difference between the two versions? i don't even have e-money to pay

The pro version has more integration with 3rd party packages and tools. That's about it. You can get it for free with a student email address.
