Which Code Editor (IDE) should you be using for Python in 2022?

How's it going guys? So it has come to my attention, after reading thousands of comments, that a lot of you are having trouble with Python because of the code editor (or IDE) that you chose for your task. Both PyCharm and Vistual Studio Code are great. If you're a beginner, I highly recommend you start with PyCharm, otherwise Visual Studio Code shouldn't give you any trouble.

Both are free!

PyCharm:

VSC:

I've tried using vscode many times, but Pycharm's linting and problem detection is vastly better. It catches a lot of stuff VScode misses.

In my experience, I can tell when a coworker has written python code in vscode because it lights up like a christmas in Pycharm :)
Things like proper line spacing and using snake_case function names are usually ignored by default in vscode.

VScode does have things like static type checking and linting with extensions, but from experience if you turn it on strict mode it takes things way too literally and isn't smart enough to look at the context of the code around it. This usually leads to people being annoyed by all the warnings and turn it off, which means the user no longer gets warned for basic PEP8 violations and such.

A minor correction. At 2:45 you say IntelliJ produces PyCharm. Actually it’s JetBrains but IntelliJ is the Java centric IDE.
Otherwise good tight video although I’d disagree on PyCharm not giving you flexibility. It has tons of incredible features if you know how/where to find them.

My computer at work has no admin priviledge to install pycharm because I'm not an IT worker, so that VScode is the best choice because it offers user installer

vs code has best syntax highlighting. I really wish we could get exact same syntax highlighting from the vscode dark theme in pycharm community version.

Pycharm allows me debugging inside docker without installing all the plugins inside container every time it's created or in remote production server

Ho notato che VSCode ce l'hai in Italiano. hahahahah
Great video. I needed to see such a comparison. I'll start using PyCharm more to get familiar with it - it looks like it could benefit me in the future.

Why pycharm doesn't warn or stop for any errors on the code ?
Eg. MyFunction()
There is no such function on the entire file. Pycharm sleeps and no warning.
How to scan the entire project for such errors in one click ?

Please compare IntelliJ ultimate vs pycharm for coding in python

pycharm community has no support for databases. makes it unusable.

[misaellopez]

is it posible to run just a part of the code not all the code?, like having differents excercises in the same file without run all of them just the selected?

I think the biggest problem with some languages is the ease of which to install packages and separate environments. Python is a pain in the butt in the same way Java is without Jet Brains IDE. managing venv etc is just terrible and asking for env mess up hell. Everything else I use vs code, terminal as is etc. Been a while since I used pip env so maybe thats gotten better since its early release but if python had something like nvm I'd really love it more.

[ТимурУмаров-ие]

I'm using VS Code and it perfectly works with pip out of the box with any additional preparation. What am I doing wrong? :)

[fqty]

But PyCharm is not for free, the full version at least :(

[anhnhatnguyet]

Can I use web python online instead, is there any more inconvenient problem than Pycharm or VSC, please guide me specifically. thank you

WAS IST DER UNTERSCHIT ZWISCHEN VS CODE UND PYCGARM

[isaac]

Vs code can be very demanding with cpu and many useless extensions or packages running which will inevitably slow down your application

[sampathkovvali]

For me it's all about debugging its easy with pycharm in my opinion :D
