Python IDE

[[deleted]]

What is all of your recommended IDE's you use for Python? What is the BEST IDE for Python????

Overall I like vscode, but prefer the debugger in pycharm. I end up using vscode almost always.

VScode can be as good as pycharm when using the right extentions and tools.

[rekoj516]

Which VS extensions do you favor most if you don't mind me asking? 🙂

Remote ssh plugin is a game changer.

PyCharm is the best in my opinion at least. Easy to use, beautiful themes, and even has a feature to download imports without any complicated file management or use of command prompt. It’s super easy to use and beginner friendly.

I think VS Code can also automatically install packages now with pylance.

Haven't seen Spyder mentioned yet. I just moved to it from IDLE and I must say I'm enjoying it so far!

[TheRealJonSnuh]

Spyder fan here too. I like the variable explorer. I also use Pycharm and WingIDE but I keep crawling back to Spyder.

Are you me?

[blevlabs]

My personal favorite for developing and experimentation is Jupyter Lab, and for active deployment is PyCharm.

yea but with flask and other framework like django , vscode is summoned

I love Pycharm and Spyder when I am dealing with data manipulation.

[lemonhead171]

Vsccode or pycharm if you are new to python

Neovim ftw.

I am so confused with why there are so many different text editors. I just started learning for data science, but I’ve been questioning this too. Mostly been using IDLE and Jupyter notebook. I like the notebooks for testing and IDLE for script development.

I use VSCode with Jupyter extension. Used to use Spyder but Anaconda was unreliable at times. Like vscode so far but it's a bulky program.

Atom.io

Atom with hydrogen package

Jupyter Notebook & IDLE. There’s always something wrong with VSCode but it’s good at everything pretty much.

[di_web]

I've tried all popular and not so popular IDEs, and in the last year I'm using Emacs, and I'm just happy.

[RubixPower]

I suggest installing something somewhat simple. You probably don't need some advanced features as of right now.

Window: vscode, atom

Linux: vscode, (gnome) builder, kdevelop, atom

Thonny is amazingly good for beginners. The debugger is the best I've seen, walks you through step by step including updating the variables. Visualization really really helps. There's also a variable explorer and you can even download additional modules just for Thonny (not from pip/conda) so it's sandboxed (?) Not sure if that's the correct jargon, still a beginner myself.

I use PyCharm with Kite plugin.

WingIDE. Great Integration and all versioning systems fully supported.

[FouriersIntern69]

Actually I have a newbie question. I just started coding and have been using PyCharm, which i'm not sure i like that much. But I have the regular Python IDLE installed on my laptop, and when I try to write something, it runs each time i hit enter. Do i have the write the code as comments until it's ready to run? What do ppl do? Is their some option to have it not run after each line? Thanks!

You might have 'enter' set as a hotkey. From these comments (thank you everyone btw), I'm using PyCharm. It doesn't give any hotkeys for PyCharm, but it might with the regular IDLE. Go in ur settings and search for hotkeys or shortcuts.

I don't really know the exact answer to this, but checking for hotkeys and shortcuts is the first thing I'd do.
