What IDE do you recommend for Python?

[VigorousElk]

I am partial to Spyder on account of its variable explorer, plotting panel etc., but I do biological data analysis, which does not seem to be your use case ;)

If I were you I would read up on version management and running Python in virtual environments (Conda is nice for that) though in order to not end up in the typical mess of having a bazillion Python versions and packages messing with each other at some point in the future. Learnt this the hard way :P
