Hey, thank you so much Mr Kaled Corona-Romero for your participation in this discussion for your suggestions. I tried both PyCharm and VS Code, but I take your suggestion about Neovim with Lazyvim and test this IDE for sure.

Regards.

This is my take after developing with python for years:

Popular Python IDEs:

• VS Code (Visual Studio Code): Pros: Lightweight, highly customizable, tons of extensions (including Python), good for all types of projects, strong community, supports remote development. Best For: Versatile use, from small scripts to large projects, all-around excellent choice.
• PyCharm: Pros: Powerful, feature-rich, excellent debugging, smart code completion, dedicated Python IDE. Best For: Serious Python development, especially complex projects, scientific computing, and web development using Python.
• Spyder: Pros: Scientific computing focus, variable explorer, IPython console, integrates well with NumPy and Matplotlib, good for data analysis. Best For: Data science, machine learning, scientific research.
• Jupyter Notebook/Lab: Pros: Interactive, great for data exploration, visualization, and sharing, excellent for teaching and presenting. Best For: Data analysis, research, education, quick prototyping.

Why Choose One Over Another?

• Complexity of Project: PyCharm for large projects, VS Code for flexible usage, Jupyter for analysis.
• Scientific vs. General Programming: Spyder for scientific computing, VS Code/PyCharm for general.
• Customization Needs: VS Code for high customization.
• Performance: Sublime Text is fast and lightweight; PyCharm can be more resource-intensive.
• Specific Needs: Jupyter for data exploration and presentations, Spyder for scientific analysis.

Your Choice (Spyder):

You mentioned Spyder for its quick feedback and community. That's a great reason! It's excellent for the data science and scientific research context.

In short: There's no single "best" IDE, it depends on your needs and preferences. VS Code is a popular all-rounder. PyCharm is good for serious Python development, Spyder for scientific computing, Jupyter for interactive data work, Sublime for speed.

Hey, first of all let me thank you for your participation in this discussion Mr Touhidul Alam Seyam . I think that you answer is of great benefit to the entire ResearchGate community who would like to learn more about the most popular Python IDE's out there, due to its great attention to detail.

At the moment, Jupyter is my second take.

Thanks for your time.

I would suggest for PyCharm : https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/

Fine, that's a good option. Thanks for your participation on this discussion Mr Suvendu Mohanty

VS Code is best and its free

For basic level just the default IDLE is enough, for student and learning and practising some advanced features SPYDER is ok. For projects PyCharm

I prefer using VS Code as an IDE. It has many useful extensions (such as IntelliSense, linting, debugging, and Jupyter Notebook integration) for Python, is easy to use and customize, provides a built-in terminal, and has a large network available for resources and tutorials.

PyCharm or VSCode

Thank you all for the feedback. For the moment, It seems that VS Code & Pycharm are the most popular IDE's to use with Python.

I've been using PyCharm for years. Before that Eclipse, but the installation was a PITA.

A friend of mine still works with Eclipse for Python and said to me something similar about the installation process... but here is another one for PyCharm. Thanks for your participation, Mr Robert C. Ramsdell

I use Spyder most of the times. Though others are also good. You may likely prefer to use Jupyter notebook when you are dealing with projects that involves data science, machine learning and deep learning.

VScode, Jupyter and Google colab

VS code for programming withe ( Python, C++, or C) is the best solutions . However, in Arduino and microcontroller programming, there are some issues:

Slow performance

A bit complicated for beginners

Limited library choices

You can use VS code, but also can use pycharm community edition

You can use VS Code, but it is not a dedicated Python IDE. Therefore, you may encounter difficulties with some dependencies and compatibility issues. I would rather suggest Jupyter (standalone) and Google Colab (online). The pycharm community edition and Spyder are also good. However, the selection of IDE will depend on the development work you are doing.

Hey, happy new year to all of you, and thanks again for the great feedback. I'm still using a lot Spyder as my default IDE, but I'm trying some of your options for a python IDE.

By the way, hi Mr Kerfah Saad Hachem can you recommend to us a good IDE to work with Arduino?, it can be of great help to all the ResearchGate community and Python users in general.

Regards.

Arduino IDE is a platform built by the Arduino community. It is used to program microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, and others.

I also use Spyder, and I really like it. But I feel a bit like a dinosaur because it seems like everybody is migrating to VSC.

VS Code is best IDE for Python

I think it depends on your experience. Generally, however, I would start with Spyder IDE. It is friendly. Later, after gaining practice, I would look for more advanced solutions.

I recommend Visual Studio Code. Its the best

Thank you for raising this important topic

I use Jupyter Notebook (Anaconda3) because it is perfect for data analysis and interactive experiments. It offers a simple interface with instant result visualization, making it an excellent choice for machine learning and data analysis projects.

Best regards

It just depend on the ide that you are more conversant with. In most cases i use jupyter notebook which i find it to be more user friendly

I use PyCharm and I like it.

I prefer PyCharm (Community Edition). It offers a powerful set of features for both beginners and professionals, including intelligent code completion, debugging, testing support, and integration with web frameworks like Django and Flask.

If you prefer a lightweight option, VS Code is also a great choice due to its flexibility, speed, and extensive extension support.

Jupyter is best for data analysis and visualization

Thanks to all the new participants of this interesting Discussion about the best IDE's for Python. It seems that Jupyter Notebook is also emerging as a very useful and popular IDE in its own right.

I prefer to use python in Google Collab online.

For my predominantly offline purposes, the Spyder IDE serves me brilliantly.

I used and continue to use Spyder for more than 14 years. However, if you used Visual Studio, you can still use it for Python. Spyder is considered to be more dedicated to scientific applications. Regards
