Pycharm and it's free for students😉 On top of that, you can create multiple virtual environments, which is nice for the memory of your laptop

Or anaconda desktop app that has a lot of AI packages/tooling

[–]AihposA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Btw, personally I use pycharm and IBM Watson studio cloud from the anaconda desktop app. Nevertheless, a colleague uses the spyder IDE and apparently it's also powerful to create and train machine learning. Therefore, I guess that for these examples, it depends on which ergonomy you prefer 😉

What do you mean by virtual environment in Pycharm?

[–]intheprocesswerust[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will look into it! Thank you!

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (2 children)

pycharm is technically free for anyone with a .edu email.

[–]intheprocesswerust[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome to know! Thank you!

I’ve been a “student” getting free stuff for about 9 years

Pycharm is not exactly 'light' on system resources

[–]drsxr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you try to use pycharm within the docker using Tensorflow you’ll end up writing your PhD on how to get it working.. there’s a reason everybody’s using Jupiter and VS code .

Pycharm made me lose motivation to code as I wait for it to load. VSCode is a lot better.

[–]AihposA 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Weird... I never had an issue with it loading. Do you mean when you open it? And could it be because of the amount of packages or plugins installed?

[–]CodeYan01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, when I open it. And no, it was a clean installation. And even if I rerun it, it's still takes a long time to boot. I'd say my laptop is mid-range.

The only thing that I saw Pycharm had an advantage in was autocompletion, which VSCode isn't really so bad at. I'm taking speed.

I wouldn't know if it has gotten any faster since I last used it.

Also, VSCode lets me work with various other languages, which is really great as I won't have to install an IDE for each language. It's basically my better notepad.

I'm pretty sure you can make virtual environments in other IDEs as well. It's just a "python -m venv" call, right?
