you don't need an ide to learn python -- vim in a bash shell will give you the least distractions and arguably the best editor -- learn to use the online docs, the python book is just too big to actually use in my opinion, and the online docs are easier to search On Wed, Oct 31, 2018 at 7:00 PM George from the tribe <tech@reachthetribes.org> wrote:

Active State has a paid IDE:

I have never used it so I can't speak to whether it is good or bac.

I know I have posted an awful lot about non-free editors. But keep in mind vim and emacs are highly extensible and you can get a lot of milage out of them, for free.

One last note - learn Python 3, not Python2, as Python 2 is going to be EOL-ed in 2020.

Tom

Thanks for that. I did not know about python2 having EOL in a couple of years, so that is good to know. I will focus on learning python3.

Question about EMACS - how is it for debugging?

Also, I noticed that the Eric IDE is available from the repositories, so I installed it. Do you or anyone else have any experience with Eric?
