Which online IDE do you use for Python?

My dear LESbians,

I started to code a bit in Python again (just for fun) and am using https://www.pythonanywhere.com/ when I need an IDE on the go. Works very well so far, but I saw that there are plenty of alternatives out there. Too many to test them all myself. So I wonder - Which Python online IDE do you use and why?

Furthermore: On iOS - Would you recommend Pyto or Pythonista?

Thanks a lot in advance for you sharing your precious experiences!

Cheers,
Amitz

    Hey there, mate. It's good to see you :)

    To host Python apps, throughout all my courses, Heroku keeps popping up. They also have a free tier to deploy apps. Not an IDE though, afaik.

    To compile Python code online, so far, I used Programiz ( https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/online-compiler/ ) but pythonanywhere seems more advancdd (although paid).

    I took a Python basics course by Mimo recently, so also diving a bit into Python. Definitely looking to practice. If you have any tips/ideas or good-first-issues (github) feel free to pm :)

  • I'd consider using VSCode with a remote SSH extension against a VPS if you're using a laptop form factor.

    Productivity on a tablet is just so much lower that it's not worth it imo

  • I recommend the following two sites:

    https://goorm.io/
    https://cloud.okteto.com/

  • Mostly use jdoodle for quick Python scripts. Also have used repl.it. Repl.it allows installatig 3rd party packages from PyPI which is a great feature usually not found in other Cloud IDEs.

    In addition, I've also set up code-server on a couple of my VPS for more serious coding, non single file projects.

  • Hmm... I like women, but I'm not a lesbian. :p

    That aside, the python IDEs that I use are VSCode and Pycharm. I've them installed on a VPS with VNC access. My framework of choice is Flask, usually with FlaskJWT and sqlalchemy.

    Deployment is usually via docker images on VPS.

  • Gitpod is also great (VSCode based)

  • I don't understand the concept of an online IDE or why anyone would want to use one. Just edit either locally (push from a git repo on your home computer) or remotely in a terminal window (vim or emacs or whatever). I do both of those.

    I had a parttime job to teach programming before, there are some guys only have ipad or chromebook on their hand.
    I world recommend anyone buy a good laptop if they really want to code something through.

  • Thank you for your replies and my sincere apologies for not coming back yet! I have some job issues that I will have to take care of before I can think of programming for fun in Python again. Will probably take some days/weeks...
