Which online IDE do you use for Python?

Amitz

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:

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.

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...
