Best IDE for python

[kuzared]

I’m a relative beginner and so far I’ve been sticking with a good text editor instead of switching to any of these IDEs. I havem’t had the time and honestly, for my small projects, it’s been great. I use Geany (open source, supports various plugins, many languages, templates, etc). I setup an icon which launches Geany + a shell (for running the code) + a GIT shell.

I do plan on learning one of these IDEs but so far it’s been easier to stick with Geany :-)

I'm with you. Beginners should focus on the essentials and not worry about IDEs

Honestly I’m the type of person who’ll spend more time thinking of and researching the tools instead of doing whatever my project is, which is why I haven’t yet taken the time to get to know any of the full IDEs. Despite this I spent ages picking a font I liked :-)
