What Is Best/Easiest IDE To Install?
#11
If you're a beginner I suggest Geany and/or Atom.
Geany is fairly simple (f5) saves/runs active tab. It will automatically run script in a terminal. And Geany is pretty light.

Atom (from Atom.io) is a bit different. What I like is Atom will aggregate your variables, etc, into a list so you have minimal typing (geany doesn't not do this for variables). You have to run scripts through a keyboard combo tho...I believe ctrl-i is sufficient or one of these. But it runs it within the IDE (bottom) not in a separate terminal window.

I find these two to be best...

Most of these are not even IDE's.

here is a long list of possible editors and IDE's
https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors
https://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedD...vironments

Thanks for that. I am trying to have a shot at Pyscripter but it can't see my Python installation.

I just read in a thread that Pyscripter doesn't support Python64. Or Python 36 which is what I've got. My Python install is part of visual studio.

So should I forget about Pyscripter or would it we worth installing another version of Python just for the sake of Pyscripter?

And can two versions of Python happily coexist on the pc?

There are IDE's that shine above the rest.
VS Code and PyCharm being at the top of my list.
VS Code is best if using virtual environment (which for me is most of the time).
My not so humble opinion!
