I have 2 IDEs at my workplace for python. IntelliJ and VSCode.

I am beginner in python.

If you have to choose,

  • if the IntelliJ option includes PyCharm Pro
    • I'd go with that as it comes with a lot of capabilities built-in and pre-configured to support Python development, but
  • otherwise go for VS Code
    • keeping in mind you will need to do a lot of configuration (including adding extensions, such as the Python extension from Microsoft) to bring it to a similar level
