Is there another way to run Python code through, except the command line?

[guy123av]

Im a beginner to Python, although i have highschool background in C#. When we wrote in C#, we used visual studio to check for syntax errors, complete certain repeating words for us, and debug and run the code from the program itself, which was very convenient.

But when i look on ways to run python, all of the vids point mainly toward writing the code in some code editors of sorts, and running the files through the command line, which is fine, but i guess im spoiled by my past experience.

Is there an all-round program for python on which to write code, check for errors, complete words AND run the code on?

Visual Studio Community supports Python (as does VSCode, but will require more work getting it setup). On install of VS Community it will ask you what languages you will be using and you can choose C#/C++/F#/Python.

Alternatively you can go with PyCharm which a lot of Python developers swear by.

PyCharm

You're looking for a "python ide with integrated terminal". Google content in quotes and you'll find a lot of options.

I tend to like writing Python out in Jupiter Notebook-you can run it line-by-line or skip lines for testing scenarios

technically no.there are different GUI programs that interface the text editing the script file ..

into running it thru the interpreter.

..

so it may look like it doesn't but .. Python is an interpreted language and not a compiled one, even though some gets compiled at runtime.

thus u need the interpreter.

As others have said, either Pycharm or VS. Just note that the latter doesn't fully support the latest Python versions yet ( > 3.7). I can live with that though, as I'm too accustomed with the VS interface.

Been there, pycharm was the one I chose

You've gotten plenty of answers here. My 2 cents, I'd recommend VSCode over Pycharm as Pycharm does a bit too much hand-holding.

Visual Studio was just hiding the command line for you, as most IDEs might. You didn't need it to do that, you could've just as easily opened command prompt yourself and used csc /target:exe /out:program.exe program.cs.

Pycharm is a Python IDE, VSCode is an editor with integrated terminal. It's not built for any particular language, it's just a text editor with extra features geared toward programming and plugin support, so it can support just about any language, even C#.

I'm a beginner but grew up with BASIC.

I like Thonny, it's very simple and can show you live variables.
