🖥️ Python Integrated Development Environment & Code Editors
IDLE, or Integrated Development and Learning Environment, is the default IDE that comes when you install Python. Writing Python code using IDLE or even the Python Shell is great for simple things, but those tools quickly turn larger programming projects into frustrating pits of despair. Using an IDE, or even just a good dedicated code editor, makes coding fun—but which one is best for you?
An IDE (or Integrated Development Environment) is a program dedicated to software development. As the name implies, IDEs integrate several tools, specifically designed for software development, which usually include:
○ An editor designed to handle code (syntax highlighting, indentation and auto-completion)
○ Build, execution, and debugging tools
○ Some form of source control
Most IDEs support many different programming languages, and contain also many MORE features. They can, therefore, be very large and take time to download, and install. You may also need advanced knowledge to use them properly!
In contrast, a dedicated Code Editor can be as simple as a Text Editor, but with syntax highlighting and code formatting capabilities. Most good code editors can execute code and control a debugger. The very best ones interact with source control systems as well. Compared to an IDE, a good dedicated code editor is usually smaller and quicker, but it’s often less feature rich.
So what things do we really need in a coding environment? Features list vary from app to app, but there are a Core set of features, that makes coding easier:
○ Debugging support
○ Syntax highlighting
○ Automatic code formatting
○ Saving and reloading code files
○ Running code from within the environment
Of course, there are LOTS of other features you might want, like source code control, an extension model, build and test tools, language help, and so on. But the above list is what I would see as the “Core Features” that a very good Editing environment should support…
With these features in mind, Let’s take a look at some general purpose tools you can use for Python development:
○ VIM
○ Atom
○ Notepad++
○ PyCharm
○ GNU Emacs
○ SublimeText
○ Visual Studio
○ Eclipse + PyDev
With that said, you now have multiple IDEs to select from. Please, tell me in the comments: Which Code Editor is best for you?
