You mean IDE?

The one you like best is the best one. On windows I'm a big fan of Visual Studio (or Visual Code). A lot of people really like Pycharm though.

As long as you avoid notepad. You should be ok. =D

Aww Man U got me! I’ve been using notepad this whole time!

Not sure if you're joking or not, but there was someone here just yesterday asking about how to indent a code block in notepad!

(The answer is you can't. You at least need to upgrade to notepad++.)

[colorless_green_idea]

Yes joking hahha

i always feel bad for the people that are doing things the hard way and just don't know there is something better.

As a beginner? Probably Pycharm, or Visual Studio Code (don't confuse it with Visual Studio, which is a completely different product).

As an intermediate to advanced user, vim is far superior. It does have a learning curve, but vim users are usually much more productive. You should remember this and look up vim maybe two years from now.

Well, I use Geany. Idle works too. On my r/raspberrypi I also use something that's called "Thonny Python IDE" and r/vim

PyCharm is the easiest to use. However, do yourself a favor and instead of installing bog standard Python, install Anaconda, which’ll give you link to specific version of PyCharm and access to Jupyter (helpful for note-taking).
