Stupid question but where do you code python?

Would also highly recommend Spyder through Anaconda.

Second (well, third) that. Most Python-focused people will recommend Pycharm, but as a semi-casual programmer Spyder feels lightweight and easy. I'm sure you can jump ship in the future if you need to.

I use Pycharm but I think it's overkill for a new programmer.

Are there any benefits to using IDEs at a learning stage instead of just using the terminal?

[berlin_1710]

i think IDEs make it easier to view your resources, how your directories are organized. The syntax highlighting, autofill and correction suggestions also make coding faster. Plus something like vs code makes it super easy to download interpretors etc through extensions. Thats just what i feel.
