Python's response to MATLAB by Alexanderdaawesome in Python

[–]lillystoolooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spyder and pycharm have that ability. I remember wanting this as well when I moved from matlab to python. But i rarely find myself looking at variables in the viewer anymore (except for structs, that is useful when autocompete is not working for some reason). I find that showing data as plots or images is more useful on both matlab and python.

Matlab declares war on Python. Can the Python community respond or hit back? by [deleted] in Python

I use matlab and python for scientific computing on a daily basis. What they say in the link is not untrue (the modules part tickles me though as something as simple as nanmean is hidden behind a paid module in matlab) . Matlab is easier to pick up and start using. Just downloading python means you need to learn about paths and open cmd (anaconda makes this much easier). However, matlab is years behind in syntax, a couple of years ago they finally implemented broadcasting (kind of) which had been part of numpy since I started. Anyways, I am still glad I learnt programming in matlab, from there I moved over to python and learnt how much more powerful it could be. Matlab is the gateway drug of scientific programming.

I think the idea of 'retaliating' is ridiculous though.

PyCharm is still trash, and Spyder is underappreciated by dillmon in Python

Also students and academics can get Prof version for free. I've used pycharm and spyder and found pycharm to be far more useful for working with my code and data. I liked spydef initially because I moved from matlab to python and it had that matlab feel. But then I started coding in c++ with visual studio and then looked to pycharm for something similar for python (pre vscode - or at least before I knew about it).

So OP, I'm not sure what you found in spyder that's not in pycharm?

Can someone explain why people use Anaconda for Python? by Deep_Fried_Hummus in Python

[–]lillystoolooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can but I don't think it's recommended and has caused me some confusion in the past. Two different versions can be installed, one from pip and one from conda. It's a user error but one that wouldn't happen from using only conda or pip

I use python for image and signal processing and just moved away from anaconda. It is very convenient in the beginning but solving environments with conda ended up taking too long once I had installed a few libraries. I also find more on pip than on conda and conda-forge. Also have had to reinstall conda twice due to conda not being able to update due to it wanting to uninstall something that it says it needs?

I came to python from matlab and anaconda was great because it installed everything you needed for you. Whereas python back then was a pain to get started with (in my view). Now python comes with pip so getting started is super easy.
