good evening dear friends,


which IDE do you use: well i am trying to get in to python-development recently,

To find out what IDE suits most - i did a bit of research, and i found out that People just like pycharm when it comes to python development..Why!
some of my Friends use Spyder.

i gave it a try - and tested all of them:

spyder: i also used Spyder for some weeks: In some of my very first projects I wanted to use a package/module that is not installed by default in Spyder IDE.
But I can not find a simple solution how to load/install an external package without using payed for software or a lot of complicated manual package and environment manager setups.

Question: Well, is it not possible to install a Python+IDE with a simple installer (for example the Spyder IDE) and out-of-the-box use packages and code from the community?

Pycharm: i recently installed pycharm because my colleagues recommended me this: but after a while i finally moved to VSCode because I was impressed by the blistering fast development.

its one the most sustainable Projects n Github.

and i like it..(so far)

what do you use?

what is your experience..?

I like spyder for analytics work but it's a little tricky (but possible) to run it on a remote server that you ssh into. VSCodium for everything else.

I primarily do web app development and am now doing python for the first time. I use VSCode for everything since it's really good for front end work and it worked well with Java as well. Now I'm using it for python as well but am pretty new to python and stuff, and it's been just fine for me. I've had no issues getting my python server up and running in debug mode inside of VSCode when I have needed to debug. If I'm not debugging I just run it from a terminal inside of VSCode, running tmux so I can do split panels. There is a python plugin for VSCode that I have installed that allows for clicking through and debugging.

hello you both,

many thanks for the quick reply and for sharing your ideas and for the recommendation



VSCodium for everything else. - Awesome - you got me here.

i think running it on linux would be a great thing!

Vscode - is a very very mature project on github - its options to extend are awesome.

i think that i will pick vscode /&codium (for linux)

thanks for all you did!!!
