IDE for python

[Andrzej_Andrzej]

What kind of IDE do you use for python ?
I use VS code which is almost OK, as it lacks context menu for output of the cells. Apart from that I find it rather OK.
What are yours IDEs and what advantages do they have ? I am on windows x64.

You say "cells" which implies you are using notebook format. For notebooks I use Jupyter Notebook or Jupyter lab, the latter having better collaboration tools. I also use Google Colab as a scratchpad and find it works well for my needs.

Yes, mainly I use notebook format in VS code, but started to learn PyCharm as well. I find it difficult because of configurations and settings I must do, which is not the case for VS code. In VS code it finds everything automatically and is rather easy to use.
I wonder if anybody here uses PyCharm and what kind of experience is connected with it ?

[jefsummers]

If you install Anaconda and then use the Jupyter tools configuration is pretty straightforward (IMHO)

google 'python ide' where you can review all.
I use VSCode and PyCharm.
IDE's are a personal choice, and you should find one that fits your coding style.

I use VS Code and PyCharm.

Does anybody know what to do to have copy/paste in context right click menu for output of the cells in Visual Studio Code ? This is so annoying that VS code lacks of this feature. Is there any possibility to install this as an extension to VS code ?

I agree with jeffsummers. If you want to use notebooks, use anaconda. VSCode support for notebooks is a tacked on feature that kinda works. Notebooks are central to anaconda.

If you want to use notebooks, use anaconda.

I do not want to use anything that opens in web browser.

I have not tried this, but a brief web search showed this:

Running Jupyter Notebook on a remote server
Launch Jupyter Notebook from remote server, selecting a port number for <PORT>: # Replace <PORT> with your selected port number jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=<PORT> ...
You can access the notebook from your remote machine over SSH by setting up a SSH tunnel.

So, you can launch Jupyter with a --no-browser option. Not sure how you see the cells.
