I used PyCharm for a course I took in college since the professor wanted us to. I remember liking it. It seems that the source of the PyCharm Community Edition is available under the Apache 2.0 license; see the python subdirectory [1]. They may distribute builds with proprietary software like Microsoft does with VSCode though. I do not use it anymore so I am not sure. > So, I chose Eclipse with PyDev. > > Eclipse has a long learning curve (2 weeks from the ground), therefore here > is how I configure it. Thanks for the guide. I remember using Eclipse a few years ago and being a bit confused by all the buttons everywhere. This should help. I was looking for debugging programs a few days ago before I got tired and fell asleep without trying any... Have you tried pdb by any chance [2]? It looks like it might be someone comfy for gdb users. Maybe I am setting my hopes too high though.
