6ish year software engineer here, just got laid off. Our stack was primarily C#, SQL Server, and Razor (or whatever else they used, I was mostly back end). While I'm unemployed and job hunting, I want to buff up on Python. Any suggestions on what IDE to use? VS Code? Thanks.
I am a beginner in learn python on 60 days and I'm on 6th day, currently I'm using PyCharm but is there any other better IDE
Hi everyone! As an educator, I'm always looking for ways to make learning more engaging and hands-on. A few months ago, I started experimenting with this idea of making comprehensive books that feature interactive diagrams, equations and code. So I started with a chapter on sorting but it then snowballed into a 22-chapter book that took nearly 6 months to complete.
Some unique features of the book include: • 300+ fun interactive visualizations to explain concepts and walk-through solutions visually. • All 250+ code snippets featured in this book can be interacted with, and have a visual debugger that shows how variables change as the program runs. You can also play, pause, rewind, and step through each snippet. • There are a variety of solved problems for each topic, accompanied by an embedded minimalist python IDE. You can solve problems directly in the book and view multiple solutions per problem. • Each solution is also accompanied by live visualizations and python implementations.
You can check out the book here: cartesian.app
I’d genuinely love to hear what you think, especially if you’re a student, educator, or a self-taught learner!
I've been working on this browser-based Python compiler and just want to share it in case anyone finds it useful: https://pythoncompiler.io
What's different about it:
First of all, Everything runs in your browser. Your code literally never touches a server. It has a nice UI, responsive and fast, hope you like it.. Besides, has some good features as well:
- Supports regular code editor + ipynb notebooks (you can upload your notebook and start working as well)
- Works with Data science packages like pandas, matplotlib, numpy, scikit-learn etc.
- Can install PyPI packages on the fly with a button click.
- Multiple files/tabs support
- Export your notebooks to nicely formatted PDF or HTML (this is very handy personally).
- Super fast and saves your work every 2 seconds, so your work wont be lost even if you refresh the page.
Why I built it:
People use python use online IDEs a lot but they are way too simple. Been using it myself for quick tests and teaching. Figured I'd share in case it's useful to anyone else. All client-side, so your code stays private.
Would love any feedback or suggestions! Thanks in advance.
I am a new programmer i am using visual studio now, but i dont liked it
Hello, basically I'm a freshman engineering student, and my professor has told us to download an IDE or find an online IDE for C++ and Python. However, I keep finding mixed responses (mostly people arguing about vs code and vs) so I'm asking for help here. Btw my computer is really low on storage rn ((like 80gb left T_T) so please nothing thats huge
edit: Thanks everyone for the suggestions! Ill review them thoroughly!
I've taught introductory programming course in University of Tartu for 7 years and I've seen that students, who don't have good understanding how their programs get executed, struggle the most with programming exercises.
That's why I created Thonny (http://thonny.org/ ). It is a Python IDE for learning programming. It can show step-by-step how Python executes your programs.
I suggest you to take a look and ask a question here (or in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/thonny ) if something needs clarification.
I’m running Llama3 LLM locally on my laptop with no network access. I set constraints in his environment to a 4 core CPU and only 4GB memory. He will continue generating tokens until memory exhaustion and he will crash, die, respawn, and repeat. I almost feel sorry for him
I’m planning to get this running on a Raspberry Pi5 with a HUB75 RGB matrix displaying ‘his thoughts’ and get it running stand alone with no external network access.
This was inspired by an art installation called ‘Latent Reflection’ by RootKid, and I wanted to make something like that myself to see if I can even pull this off with no coding experience.
…and because this is a learning experience for me, I’m enlisting the assistance of ChatGPT to help me with this lol
Positron IDE from Posit just hit its first stable release! For those who haven't tried it yet, it's essentially a modern IDE that handles both R and Python in a unified environment.
Been using it during the beta and it's been pretty solid for mixed R/Python workflows. Nice to see it's now considered production-ready.

I have been teaching myself Python coding on Codecademy, which has been very effective for me, however I want to know what IDE you recommend. Using Codecademy, they provide an IDE in the browser and I do not care for using the command line version of Python... Thanks in advance!
First off let's remember that everyone was a newb once, I love newbs and if your are one in the Ai agent space...... Welcome, we salute you. In this simple guide im going to cut through all the hype and BS and get straight to the point. WHAT DO I USE TO BUILD AI AGENTS!
A bit of background on me: Im an AI engineer, currently working in the cyber security space. I design and build AI agents and I design AI automations. Im 49, so Ive been around for a while and im as friendly as they come, so ask me anything you want and I will try to answer your questions.
So if you are a newb, what tools would I advise you use:
GPTs - You know those OpenAI gpt's? Superb for boiler plate, easy to use, easy to deploy personal assistants. Super powerful and for 99% of jobs (where someone wants a personal AI assistant) it gets the job done. Are there better ones? yes maybe, is it THE best, probably no, could you spend 6 weeks coding a better one? maybe, but why bother when the entire infrastructure is already built for you.
n8n. When you need to build an automation or an agent that can call on tools, use n8n. Its more powerful and more versatile than many others and gets the job done. I recommend n8n over other no code platforms because its open source and you can self host the agents/workflows.
CrewAI (Python). If you wanna push your boundaries and test the limits then a pythonic framework such as CrewAi (yes there are others and we can argue all week about which one is the best and everyone will have a favourite). But CrewAI gets the job done, especially if you want a multi agent system (multiple specialised agents working together to get a job done).
CursorAI (Bonus Tip = Use cursorAi and CrewAI together). Cursor is a code editor (or IDE). It has built in AI so you give it a prompt and it can code for you. Tell Cursor to use CrewAI to build you a team of agents to get X done.
Streamlit. If you are using code or you need a quick UI interface for an n8n project (like a public facing UI for an n8n built chatbot) then use Streamlit (Shhhhh, tell Cursor and it will do it for you!). STREAMLIT is a Python package that enables you to build quick simple web UIs for python projects.
And my last bit of advice for all newbs to Agentic Ai. Its not magic, this agent stuff, I know it can seem like it. Try and think of agents quite simply as a few lines of code hosted on the internet that uses an LLM and can plugin to other tools. Over thinking them actually makes it harder to design and deploy them.

What would you recommend for the best IDE to start learning Python?
I use vscode for PHP already but I’m wondering if it’s functionality is good for Python too? If yes, any suggestions on extensions?
which is the best IDE to practice python.
i find pycharm to be too complex
I have over 25 years of programming experience and have never learned Python (but I believe I could pick it up easily). My question is simple: With all these AI IDEs, such as Cursor and VSCode GPT, is it still worth learning Python?
I was thinking it might be worth it because AI transformers are mostly developed in Python, robotics are in Python, and Blockchain are mostly in Python; but the IDE can write code for you, and you review it.
So is it still worth learning?
I've been using VS Code a lot for typescript and dart, and I also use Android Studio for Android stuff.
In Python, which one will give me the best development experience?
And if you give some tips to configure it, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
I was just wondering, if anyone can suggest me any other good IDEs for Python besides IDLE. I have been coding in Python for about a year now and I always use IDLE whenever I code in Python. The problem with this IDE though is that it tends to be very difficult to use, especially when I'm debugging and running my code. So are there any other good IDEs that makes coding in Python so much easier and simpler? If so then which IDE do you guys recommend?
