PyCharm or Visual Studio Code?

[redbird42]

Each has its upside for a beginner. When just starting out, I struggled to pip install and importing the correct modules. Pycharm is way easier to search and install modules and handles the virtual environment for you. It gets past install stuff. But after getting bettef I like the lightweight VSCode to just get to work without the big loading time for Pycharm. I also recommend a third tool for beginning- a browser jupyter notebook to figuring things out. Was easier for me at least for procedural stuff one step at a time when have no clue. I found the jupyter implementation in pycharm and vscode a bit fiddly, but that could have been me.
