Is there a "standard" IDE?
#1
I went to download and install Python, when I saw a link about selecting an IDE.

https://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedD...vironments

Holy Cow! There are about 20! I read the reviews, but they use terms that I am not familiar with as a newbie to Python.

Is there an IDE that is more or less standard? I am probably not going to be writing any super sophisticated code -- just personal use.

Thanks

PS: It doesn't have to be free. I'm happy to pay for quality and support.

This was discussed on multiple occasions. I think this thread is the most representative one https://python-forum.io/Thread-What-is-the-best-IDE

Overall - it's up to you personal preference.
I personally use VSCode

And here is @snippsat's VS Code from start tutorial

I tried several before also settling on VSCode.
One I 'almost' liked as much was PyCharm, but VSCode won for me.

VS Code is a free and open-source editor for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
I also will vote for VSCode. Moreover, it is asy to use and set up. It's
fast and has loads of features.
