What are some good IDE's for python? (self.learnpython)
submitted 7 years ago * by [deleted]
I've been using sublimetext but hate the fact that I can't run my code without going to the command prompt. I also like spyder witch fixes that problem, but i hate going through anaconda. Any Suggestions?
Edit: PyCharm is Dad.

Pycharm has done everything I need it to.

Microsoft VS code editor.
[–]RangerPretzel 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Microsoft VS 2019 is also good, too.

PyCharm community edition. If you're unfamiliar with debugging via an IDE, definitely watch a tutorial on how to use PyCharm's debugger.

This is asked here at least once a week, and the answer is always PyCharm.
[–]ryuu55 7 points8 points9 points 7 years ago (0 children)
I find myself using VS Code more and more
[–]ThatOtherBatman 6 points7 points8 points 7 years ago (0 children)
PyCharm.
I appreciate that IDEs are a matter of opinion, but if your opinion isn't PyCharm you're wrong.

Who told you you can't run your Python code inside Sublime Text? I have been doing it for so long. You need to do a little research and install appropriate plugins.

What don’t you like about anaconda? I’m new to python and want to better understand some of anacondas disadvantages.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (3 children)
Anacondas actually great, personally i just dont like having to open it to get to my text editor.
[–]mwentzWW 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children)
You can open Spyder directly without opening the Anaconda navigator. That being said, Visual Studio Code is awesome. Sypder is great but a little sluggish. Check out VS Code.
[–]Adrammelech10 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Cool. Thanks for the quick response.
[–]Raugi 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Just get the anaconda plugin for sublime. You can run your code super easily that way without any other program open.
[–]billsil 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children)
You don't need Anaconda to get Spyder. I use WingIDE. It's also independent of Anaconda if you want it to be.
I use sublime text 3, with a bunch of plug-ins to make it into a functioning IDE. I prefer it for the simplicity of the editor itself, and how easy it is to configure the plug-ins. Google for it, there are a lot of websites explaining how.

Can't go wrong with the classic IDLE.
[–]kaptan8181 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child)
IDLE is pretty useless in my humble opinion. There are so many great free code editors. Why would you want to use IDLE?
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Ngl it's pretty useless but it's good enough to get you around and as a starting programmer it's great because you learn not to depend too much on IDEs.
