Discussion: What's the best python editor for education?

#1

Please tell us your opinion:

  1. Do you teach Python in your class, or make stuff with Python?
  2. What’s the text editor / IDE for python are you using, which part do you like/dislike most?

As you may notice, the new mblock 5 is going to incorporate Python as the next main feature. Please keep an eye!

I’m not a teacher, but my favorite editor is Intellij IDEA / PyCharm.
For educational purposes students may qualify for a free license:

The IDE also has a Python course built-in:

Kind regards,
