What is best editor for python
The 5 Best Python IDE's and Editors
in this video I'll be showcasing my top
five choices for the best Python IDE and
text editors now all of these choices
have their different pros and their
different cons in different use cases
for them so that means that for me my
favorite may not be yours and in that
instance I'd love to see a comment down
below maybe explaining why you disagree
with me or why you think one of the
editors on my list should be ranked
somewhere else now before we go too far
I will quickly mention the difference
between an IDE and a text editor as that
is important and IDE stands for an
integrated development environment and
essentially what that means is this is a
much more feature-rich software tool it
comes with things like a debugger and
autocomplete and is a much heavier
package with a lot more features well
that also means is this is going to use
more memory on your computer it's gonna
be more system intensive it may be blag
you may crash sometimes and on slower
computers it's maybe not the best option
whereas the text editor is a lighter
weight version of this it comes with
less features typically it'll have some
plugins that you can install and really
all it's meant for is some basic
scripting and some lighter weight coding
and is a great option when you don't
have a very capable computer that can
run one of these huge IDs so with that
being said there is one commonality
between all of these things and that is
that they are all compatible with the
sponsor of today's video which is kite
now kite is the best Python autocomplete
engine on the market and will help you
save tons of keystrokes while you're
programming it runs a deep learning
model on your computer while you type to
show you the best and most relevant
completions for your Python code it's
capable of completing entire lines and
as a feature called intelligent snippets
that will help you fill in arguments and
Method calls with the variables you've
defined earlier it also comes with a
companion coding window called co-pilot
the copilot window shows you relevant
documentation while you type based on
your cursor location now the best part
of kite is that it's free and you can
download it from the link in the
description so coming in as my fifth
favorite editor for Python we have vim
now vim is an extremely lightweight
editor that becomes very powerful when
you know how to use it properly it works
on pretty much every operating system
and it's even capable of running solely
in the command line vim is what many
Python experts use because of its
powerful keyboard shortcuts and
unlimited customized ability and most of
them users love how quickly they can
develop with it and
the vast amount of plugins that come
with it I will warn you about that Bhim
has a very very steep learning curve
it's nothing compared to modern-day i
des and it will likely take you a very
long time to get used to the lack of UI
features and even just remember the
sheer volume of keyboard commands and
shortcuts so in conclusion BIM is a very
powerful tool and the only development
environment that you'll ever need for
Python assuming that you can figure out
how to use it it's not for everyone I
wouldn't recommend it for beginners but
it's definitely something worth checking
out especially if you've been developing
in Python for a long time and now for my
fourth pick we have Adam Adam is a sleek
modern lightweight editor that has many
Python developers tool of choice it was
developed by github and contains many
plugins that allow for IDE like features
to be added of course it's integration
with github and git is amazing it's free
it's very easy to set up and get working
and in my experience it requires the
least amount of setup for any IDE or a
text editor
the UI is pretty nice and it's not too
overwhelming and it doesn't use many
system resources on its default settings
Adam is designed to be hackable which
means you can customize almost
everything about it and it comes with a
suite of optional plugins
although do be wary as many users do
report lag with too many packages or
plugins installed Adam is editor I like
to suggest the beginners and anyone
looking for something that just works
right out of the box it's a great choice
I don't think you'll have any complaints
using it unless you want some features
like a debugger which won't come with
anything other than a heavier weight IDE
and now for the first IDE in our list
coming in at number 3 we have vs code
now vs code is maintained by Microsoft
which means it's constantly getting a
ton of new features and exciting
additions and it's actually pretty new
to the market being released in just
2016 it's known to be on the lighter
side when comparing against other IDE s
although it is still sometimes slow and
of course it comes with all the features
you'd expect like a debugger a massive
advantage of using vs code is a built in
compiler and interpreter and
compatibility with pretty much every
single programming language a lot of
people prefer Villa's code for web
development and heavier weight projects
and the user interface I would say is
pretty nice although some people may
argue that it's a little bit overcrowded
so this is actually where one of my
favorite features of the tool comes in
called Zen mode now Zen mode allows you
to turn your
alone IDE into a minimalist editor with
a click of a button the only minor
inconvenience when using vias code is
that python is a not one of the default
languages that comes with it this means
you'll need to install it first before
being able to run and use your Python
code overall it's hard to find an editor
that's much better than BS code when it
comes to features and my only complaint
is sometimes a speed and that can be a
little bit less intuitive to get used to
compared to some of the other options on
our list and now for my number to pick
we have sub line text sub line text is a
lightweight editor that I personally
love to use for smaller projects and
some lighter weight scripting the UI is
simple and minimalistic and I find it
very intuitive and easy to get used to
as sub line text is very lightweight
it's extremely fast and it's unlikely
we'll run into many issues with it
however to get the most out of sub line
you'll need to use one of its features
called package control to install some
plugins this allows you to pick the
exact features and add-ons you want and
not be distracted by the ones you don't
use or the ones you don't need this does
mean that this energy editor takes a
little bit of time to get set up but I
find that it's definitely a worthwhile
investment opening new files and looking
through folders is very fast and easy
and can be enhanced even more with the
right plugins overall sub-line is a
great choice for anyone not doing
anything too crazy
they just wants a lightweight editor if
you're willing to spend some time
installing plugins you'll have an editor
that has all the tools you want and only
those it's my personal go-to for the
most of my Python programming and as I'm
sure you all have guessed
coming in at number one we have pycharm
now pycharm is an ide designed
specifically for python development
although it is compatible with other
languages it's very powerful for working
with Python code and different Python
modules and frameworks like Django and
includes pep 8 style recommendations
on-the-fly coding verification and
seamless integration with anaconda and
other version control systems it has
very similar features to be as code with
a very capable debugger and of course
the ability to install plugins and
packages it has great features for
connecting to databases and servers and
the only real downfall to PyCharm is
that it's a very heavyweight IDE
compared to vs code and some of the
other things we've talked about
previously it uses a lot of system
resources and oftentimes will stall on
loading while it's indexing files now
there is ways of brow
this but as a beginner that's something
that's annoying and something that I
struggled with for a while when you
using PI trim now it is worth noting
that PyCharm does have a free community
version which is very capable but also
includes a professional version that has
even more features but for a pretty
hefty price
so overall Pi drum is my go-to for large
Python projects especially ones using
web frameworks or handling database
connectivity and it does have a slight
learning curve for beginners but it's
definitely something I recommend to all
Python developers to at least give a
shot so that has been my list for the
top Python IDE s and text editors do you
