Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Python IDE?

It depends on your work: PyCharm and VS Code are the most common general-purpose choices, Spyder and Positron suit data analysis, and Thonny or IDLE suit beginners.

What is the difference between an IDE and a code editor?

An IDE bundles a debugger, refactoring tools and project management for a language, while a code editor is lighter and gets language features from plugins. See the Code Editors page.

Why was Komodo IDE removed?

The ActiveState Komodo IDE product page returned 404 when checked, so it was removed rather than left as a dead link.

Which additional references does this page add?

The section 'IDE Documentation' lists PyCharm Help, VS Code Python, JupyterLab, Spyder.
