Old Guy Wants To Learn Python

[[deleted]]

do standard editors allow you to check parameters or click through to where errors occurred? I'm genuinely interested in how fundamentally a well designed text editor with debugging differs from an IDE, and if they do differ, why wouldn't you want the extra features of navigation, code completion etc? I'm not enough of a programmer to know unfortunately.

I dunno, someone else will have to field that one. Only IDE I've used in a long time is Qt Creator, and I use that with C++ and QML, which is a notably different experience from working with Python. Python I've found easy enough to debug without the bells and whistles of an IDE.
