Re: [pygame] IDE

Hello everyone,

Personally I use Idle because, for debugging, I love being able to execute a program in a shell and still be in that shell after the program exits, in order to examine the variables. I realize that's not a very sophisticated form of debugging, but it works for me.

I haven't looked around much, but has anyone found a way to do that in IDEs like VS Code?

If you are talking about writing simple scripts in Python then any text editor will work even 'nano'.
If you are talking about writing more complicated programs in Python then you need IDE as you will need debugging functionality.

I personally use Eclipse with PyDev plug-in on Windows machine. As Python is cross-platform language you can develop
your program on one platform and deploy on another. PyDev also allows remote debugging. For example you can start
your Python program on Raspberry Pi (Linux) and debug it in Eclipse/PyDev on Windows.

Good luck.
