NEED A PYTHON EDITOR

I have used two. I started with Pycharm and moved to Visual Studio Code. I was looking for a product that had no licensing cost. I am not a professional coder. I rank in the category of an amateur.

I used PE for many years until a friend suggested VSC because it provided terminal support (i.e run code in a terminal from the editing window) without requiring a license. In addition, VSC provided some really nice environment tailoring for python. I moved to VSC and haven't looked back. I also use VSC for Arduino coding now also.

A technical magazine published an article of mine a few years ago that I wrote on how to deploy the VSC software in a Raspberry Pi development environment. It enables you to manage code on a PI using the application from a main host. The deployment to the Pi is quick and easy, giving a consistent environment.

Switch to elcipse man easyer to use!

Define easier?

I worked with an awesome programmer for many years. He endorsed Eclipse. When I inquired about a software tool for my skill level he suggested VSC.

Given that I am retired and coding is not a skill set I will ever master, switching to another tool doesn't provide any advantages.

VSC is fn busy, there are buttons all over the place! load eclipse and try it. if you don't like it dl it.
