[NFBCS] Accessible Python Editor?

[Ida B]

Hello! I just graduated with my degree in computer science  in 2019 and I’m nowworking full-time as a developer.  I really love using eclipse as an editor. However, eclipse is mainly used for Java and so you’ll have to download an extension to use it for writing python code. Other great options are visual studio code or visual studio 2017.

Good luck and feel free to reach out with any more questions.

Best,
Ida

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!
