PyCharm
About PyCharm
PyCharm is an on-premise Python integrated development environment (IDE) designed to help professional developers write code, create a virtual environment, and maintain quality control using PEP8 checks, refactoring, and testing assistance. Its code editor supports Python, JavaScript, CoffeeScript, TypeScript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and other languages.
PyCharm's search functionality lets programmers navigate to specific classes, files, symbols, IDE actions, or tools according to individual requirements. Its debugger allows developers to create and run Python tests using a graphical user interface (GUI) and coding assistance. The platform helps professionals browse data, alter schemas, run queries and preview code edits in real-time. Managers can also customize the platform's user interface using color schemes and layouts.
Using PyCharm, developers can access several databases such as Access Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and more from within a unified IDE. The system also supports multiple web development frameworks including Django, Flask, Google App Engine, Pyramid, and web2py.

The best environment for Python developers

My experience with PyCharm has been very positive. The interface is pleasant, it is easy to open new files from the same directory, any folder can be opened as a PyCharm project and every extension can be opened, such as readmes. PyCharm has auto-saving, which is useful in case of crashes, and automatically re-opens the last project I was working on when I restart it which decreases the time taken before I can start working. The integration with GitHub makes collaborating really easy. Overall, I would recommend it, as it greatly simplifies the job of a developer and makes it pleasant.
Pros
My favourite parts of this IDE are the integration with GitHub, which is simple and immediate, with the possibility to right away download a project from a shared repository. Furthermore, the interface is pleasant, installing new packages is easy to do within the interface without the use of pip install, and now there is also the new option for collaborating live - which is promising, although I have not tried it yet. The suggestions for code completion are relevant and greatly speed up the job of writing code. Import statements are sometimes imported automatically from previous code pieces. Having a JetBrains account makes it easy to keep changes across OS and computers.
Cons
One of the least intuitive things with PyCharm is starting a virtual environment for every code that needs to be run, and making the packages available to each python file: every time a new python file is created in a new directory, the virtual environment needs to be imported from a previous instance (or re-created, but this involves re-installing the packages). It could be nice to make the virtual environment available to every file by default, such that packages are always available. In some cases, it is also hard to install the latest version, thereby an older version has to be installed. This is not beneficial.

I would say it is among the best IDEs have ever used to code python. It is easy to install and indeed I would like people to use it if you want not only to learn python from beginner level to pro level but also if you want to develop good and projects using python.
Pros
First of all installation of PyCharm is easy, you don't to have expertise to use it. Another thing I like about it is the error removal ability. PyCharm enables you as the user to identify errors easily as you code thereby you can make correct changes easily and faster. One can easily integrate it easily with GitHub, using the push component it is easily for one to update his code in GitHub account. Lastly is the plugins it has, it enables one to code in different languages as compared to other integrated development environment.
Cons
First what I dislike about this software is its hanging feature, incase your computer's speed and RAM is low then you are likely to have difficulty coding with this IDE. Though it can be used in various environments or programming languages, it will be difficult for an illiterate person to use or interact with it. I don't have much negative about this software since have not used it for a long time but I would prefer to use the pro version since it has more features and tools but it is relatively much expensive.

I don't use Python as much as R, but I appreciate having an excellent IDE to make my projects more efficient, better scripted, and more robust.
Pros
The layout and features are excellent for data science and data analysis projects. The GUI is clean and user friendly. The pricing structure is fair and allows for perpetual ownership of a version of the software even if you stop subscribing (within certain requirements). Extra addons and third party plugins make it even better. It also now includes R support too, so it can be a single IDE for all data projects.
Cons
On first opening the software, the screen can feel and look pretty cluttered. It can feel a little overwhelming, but once you get used to it, the interface is really well designed.
Reasons for Choosing PyCharm
Visual Studio is a wonderful software but it is really designed for pure code not data work. PyCharm is for data work.- Industry: Computer Software

Best Python IDE
Reviewed on 18/07/2019
Great for general Python programming
Great for general Python programming
Pros
This is the de facto standard Python IDE.. it's great. There is both a free version (community) and paid (enterprise). The UI is super slick and it just helps me so much in general productivity with a lot of built in features for automatically doing things like setting up virtual environments, downloading python modules, amazing code completion.. etc. Also has great integration with git repos and pushing code easily.
Cons
Would be nice if it handled writing custom code documentation a bit better.. but this is not really a fault of pycharm but more python/python's PEP itself
