python

[Charles T. Bell]

Charlie,

You don't really need an IDE with python, unless you want to single step
through the program.
I put my python programs in a subdirectory under "python" subdirectory
and open both a terminal (half-screen) and kate (half-screen) side by
side.  That way I can make changes in kate and save them, then run the
program in the terminal.  With a little care you can quickly debug your
program that way.
However, if you want to single-step through the program you need an IDE.
Good luck!

Tom

“As his first step, he is always setting some war in motion, so that
people will be in need of a leader,” Plato explains. In fact, “it’s
necessary for a tyrant always to be stirring up war.”
