Python Forum

Hey everyone,

I have been programming in python for a few weeks now, and I am starting to get a better handle on it. I am currently using KOMODO IDE because for Php, JavaScript, CSS, HTML and all the other web based languages it really kicked butt.

I’m finding it a bit lacking, and clunky for python.

What do you guys use?

Do you know if any that will let me access program on my Mac, and then auto save via SSH to my raspberry pi?

PyCharm works really well for me, though I know that some others use Sublime Text or Atom. I'm pretty sure Sublime Text also works pretty well for Python, I'm not sure about Atom. So I'd suggest either PyCharm or Sublime Text whichever works best for you.

depending on what I'm feeling like on the day, either
- Visual Studio Code, with the various Python plugins.
- Atom

Neither is perfect. But they're the best price (free!) and honestly, it's not as if I personally end up using all the extra buttons that more specialised IDEs give you anyway.

These days, I'm only writing small scripts which I tend to do in Emacs.

Regarding copying to another machine, surely you could just put the scp command line in a shell script and run it manually? That doesn't sound like much overhead to me, but in sure some editors also have a way to configure things happening on save.
