Best IDE for practicing python??

Answer 1

For education and practicing, also for short data-related scripts and commands - Jupyter notebooks or better yet - Spyder (powerful autocompletion and easy access to help)

For developing - PyCharm.

Answer 2

Did you consider to

- develop in a web browser
- have code completion
- have syntax highlighting
- have access to the help system
- have embedded timing functions
- see input and output immediately
- embed plots, such as from matplotlib
- have rich annotations written Markdown
- use the resulting document for presentations

If all that sounds cool, give the Jupyter Notebook a try! It really rocks!

Answer 3

Which OS do you use? I like to work with Atom. There is no best IDE. All have a advantages and disadvantages.
