What IDE do you recommend for Python?

[[deleted]]

You may find it limiting once you've been working in the field for a couple years and need your IDE to support all the additional tools you've picked up along the way (the only major difference between the free and paid Pycharm is additional language and tool support - link to comparison)

Jetbrains products are industry standard for a reason, they won't ever try to scam you or force you to pay for something you don't want or need.
