Requirements for a Good Editor/IDE

• Save and Reload Source Code
  • An IDE or editor must save your work and reopen everything later, in the same state it was in when you left, thus saving time for development.
• Execution from Within the Environment
  • It should have a built-in compiler to execute your code. If you are not executing it in the same software, then probably it is a text editor.
• Debugging Support
  • The debugger in most IDEs provides stepping through your code and applying breakpoints for the code’s partial execution.
• Syntax Highlighting
  • Being able to spot keywords, variables quickly, and symbols in your code make reading and understanding code much easier.
• Automatic Code Formatting
  • This is an interesting feature; the code indents itself as the developer uses loops, functions, or any other block code.

text editors/IDEs (integrated development environment)

1. PyCharm
2. Spyder
3. Emacs
4. Geany
5. Visual Studio Code / VSCodium (binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing )
6. Notepad ++
7. … viele mehr

$ winpty <path-to-python-installation-dir>/python.exe

Workaround if Anaconda doesn’t work

Go to https://mybinder.org/. Put the URL https://github.com/foerstner-lab/Bits_and_pieces_for_the_carpentries_workshops after “GitHub repository name or URL” and write “empty_jupyter_notebook_for_binder.ipynb” after “Path to a notebook file”.
