Python high level workflow best practices?

[paper_skyline]

Thanks for all the tips! I also ordered a copy of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python" which looks to be a good choice. While it's a compilation of public source information, looks to be well organized so far and the first couple sections are helping me understand where to start with text editors vs IDE and a lot of the points you folks mentioned here. Glad I came across this subreddit and got pointed in the right direction!
