Python IDEs

IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment is defined as a coding tool that helps to automate the process of editing, compiling, testing, etc. in an SDLC and it provides ease to the developer to run, write and debug the code.

It is specially designed for software development that consists of several tools which is used for developing and testing the software.

There are some Python IDEs which are as follows:

• PyCharm
• Spyder
• PyDev
• Atom
• Wing
• Jupyter Notebook
• Thonny
• Rodeo
• Microsoft Visual Studio
• Eric

I got my training from Zeblearn in the Python Certification Training, I would like to say that say he is one of the best trainers. He has not even trained me but also motivated me to explore more and the way he executed the project, in the end, was mind-blowing.
