My favorite IDE is Spyder. It is not as lightweight as vscode though. The IDE saves all the variables of the recently called script and lets you inspect them. You can call functions from the file too and test them. It's also possible to get a graet overview of the different variables, functions and classes. This is especially useful when you are doing a lot of nesting, since it visualizes the tree structure. If i'm working on a project with diffrent kinds of files i use vscode, because it's a great allrounder (copilot integration is also nice and free for students). I honestly didn't check out that many different IDEs and sticked around what my university uses. Thanks for your great tutorial with different knowledge levels so everyone can learn something.
Spyder would be the favorite for me when starting with something. Simply because you can mark code and run it. Than have it in the kernel and inspect it.
Hey. The code oss is ide which is actually the vs code that is open source and developed by community. I think the vs code that most of use is by Microsoft and it's proprietary if i am not wrong
thanks Jake, can you create an environment in VSCode? my IDE of choice is PyScript (it's free as well), the reason I like it is just like VS Code you select the environment for Python you want to work with but unlike VS Code it does not list all the environments that exist on your PC, you create your environment the normal way then use the settings in PyScript to point to the folder :)
Great question! Yes, you can create a virtual environment through VS Code as well. Just with ctrl+shift+p to open the command palette and then create virtual environment. I think it only works if you have the Python extension installed.

Thanks so much for your comment! I’ll have to check out Spyder, it sounds interesting.
Happy coding! :)

That’s a good call out! You are right. It’s based on open source software, but VS Code itself is proprietary.
