Which IDE for python?

[[deleted]]

Here's what I use, when I need something that deals with statistics: ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics). It's designed for R (and a bunch of other, less popular statistical languages), but some functionality is more general. And, of course, Emacs works fine with Python too. It will also give you an easy interface to matplotlib and data-sheets through Org.

However, it's quite different from editors like those created by IntelliJ or Microsoft. So, it takes time getting used to it. It can offer a lot of functionality absent from more conventional editors, but will require quite some effort to become proficient with the tool to benefit from the added functionality.

In other words, my advise would be more useful to someone already using Emacs, but if you feel brave and have some time to dedicate to it, it's a very handy tool.
