  • PyCharm

    From GB@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 26 10:12:27 2023
    I'm just installing PyCharm on Windows. It says it is 1.5GB in size. For
    an editor, that seems enormously bloated?

    Has anyone used it and/or can recommend a python IDE?

    That's twice the size of their Java/Kotlin IDE

    No, I just use JupyterLab

    It has got a bit bloated, but all the Intellij IDEA based products are
    very good. PyCharm would be my first choice for anything beyond a single
    file.

    VSCode is more lightweight.

    An a Mac it's 680MB

    I use VS Code (90MB).

    I have toyed with VS Code, but I have given up on all the complicated
    ones and gone back to IDLE. Better the devil you know ...
