The most commonly used IDE? - Aliasing - Apr-19-2017

I am a newcomer to python. I need to ask some professional advice. What kind of the integrated development environments is the most commonly used to deal with python coding on the linux platform now?

Atom and PyCharm seem to be up there.
You should try several until you find the one you like
It's sort of personal.

For in-line testing I would recommend jupyter. It allows - among other things - to interactively test small code snippets. You may use ipython for that - or Python console in PyCharm - but jupyter notebook is more convenient, especially when you want to copy the results into IDE. 

And it stores the history, which may be later reloaded and re-executed.

I'm admittedly into the really lightweight options, but I have really been feeling Geany for a while now. It is basically just a glorified text editor but a lot nicer than notepad++ in most regards.

Thanks for so many good advice.
I also hope that the IDE is equipped with a perfect python debugger.

I use PyCharm. It's debugger is outstanding. I expect that atom's is as well.
