[NFBCS] Accessible Python Editor?

[Justin Ekis]

Hi there. 

I have heard from several reliable sources that Visual Studio code is accessible. I've taken a look at it, and it does seem to be at first glance. I'm just getting started myself, and don't have direct experience, but I trust the folks who told me. 

Hope this helps, 

Justin.

The professor of CS-111 (my first formal course in the field) will be using Python as the teaching language. I have been playing with Python since seventh grade, but I was content to use a very basic editor on my iPad, which will not work here because I will be required to import additional libraries and I prefer editing on the computer anyway.

For now, I am running them with the command line and using a different cursor to explore the output, but that only works some of the time. Do any of you know of a reliable and accessible platform that can edit (or at least run) .py files? It would be great if the program could handle other languages like Java and C++, but it's not a requirement just yet. Thank you for any input!
