IDLE vs PyCharm as editors?
#1
I may be biased because I started with IDLE but want to get beyond that.

I am almost a 1 week Pythoner and managed to get through a 5 hour tutorial on Python. Having years of Assembly, Pascal, C, C++, HTML/CSS, Javascript, BASIC and Visual BASIC among others, I was able to get going quickly, and have coded my first Python program destined to become my first app.

The instructor used IDLE. It was suggested that I check out Kivy and in that video, Pycharm was used. Although Pycharm has line numbers, I see little benefit to using it. I find IDLE easier to see if not only for its use colors. After that, I have not done much with either one.

It also appears that I cannot have both on my system. When I installed Pycharm, IDLE was no longer accessible until I uninstalled Pycharm.


Is there a benefit for me in app development for one over the other?
Is there a way to have both that I nigh flip from one to the other?
Might there be a down side to using one over the other?
