Using different IDE

[Lass86]

Hello everyone,

I'm doing a course in Python and they're recommending Wing IDE. After searching for a while, I just can't seem to make it work with Pyton. (The course itself recommends an older version that doesn't exist anymore. )
Do you think I could use a different IDE all together? I'm now stuck on this of all things. I just want to move forward.

What is your experience? Does it matter if you use a different IDE?

No it doesn't matter. Use a different IDE. You can also learn Python with a good editor instead of an IDE.

Here is a page about python ides and another one about python editors.

In my opinion - move to different IDE. It's the code that matters. Also this will help you concentrate on the code, i.e. the substance, not the form (the IDE) so to say.
I personally would recommend VSCode. Check nice tutorial - VSCode from start by @snippsat.
Here is another useful thread

You don't need to use Wing Ide can use what you want,i would suggest VS Code.
As you see a lot use it for Python 25 mil + downloads.
VS Code from start

PyScripter is and easy IDE to start with if you are on Windows.
For Wing you most remember to use the free Wing Personal.

Thank you guys for all of your answers! I was able to make Wing work, so I'll stick to that for now. But I'll save your suggestions. Thank you so much!
