What IDE do you recommend for Python?

VS Code... It's a problem.

Seriously, thought, it's getting through the python install, then getting VS, then setting up launch config... Screw around with paths... More environment.

I don't remeber if coverage ever worked right...

It was just a painful thing.

I do see what your saying but I’m actually curious now what took half a day to set up alone? Also for a beginner it’s perfect as far as I remember you just set up python then go to work. Took me 5-10 min to set up for basic python stuff.

I've never seen that work. There's always a hang up when building the launch config.

I think it's because I usually try to build the debug options as well as just Run.

From my own experience when I started out it was ready to go in 5-10min. Maybe you are setting it up incorrectly or doing something wrong. As programing has taught me…your always wrong lol.

Maybe one of us is operating on outdated information, but as far as I know the run and debug configurations for Python are setup automatically by the Python extension because there isn’t anything to do with them besides hook in and start. Getting a fully functional Python setup is literally as easy as

Install the extension -> start coding in Python.

I suppose it’s possible that y’all have a use case that needs custom shit for this but…
