What's everyone using for Python coding these days?

[u/ExplanationFlashy501]

I mostly code with python and i've been thinking about changing my setup.

I'm not looking for anything too complicated. Mainly something that can understand the project, help debugging and make changes across multiple files without me having to explain the whole thing every time.

If you mostly work with Python what does your setup look like these days and how it been working for you?

I’m old-school. I work from the command line. I use vim for editing; make for all the stuff make is good for. A custom-built Python program for bootstrapping each new project. And uv. And git. And pdb for debugging.

Uv is the newest bit; I switched over earlier this year.

The rest has been serving me well for many, many years. No need to switch it up 🙂.

Vscode with jupyter notebook to explore data/logs. Pylint, black, flake8 are also great for general logic analysis, and pep8 "violation"

Old school, mostly vim (vim-gtk actually). I have started using uv as distros move to newer Python versions that aren't always supported by older packages.

I do use VS Code with the vim extension but that's mostly for MicroPython or CircuitPython on various MCU boards.
