Spyder VS bpython

IDE-wise, I find Spyder to be the most R-like. If you are comfortable with R Studio, maybe check it out.

For anyone else who hadn’t heard of Spyder: https://www.spyder-ide.org/

Spyder

Spyder - a popular editor for scientific work, the default option if you get the Anaconda implementation of Python which includes many packages used in science and engineering fields

I also have a fondness for Spyder, which was my first non-IDLE IDE experience. It is heavily geared toward scientific computing.

bpython over built-in Python interpreter

Yeah, also it's worth to mention bpython

I use bpython, its a pretty cool python REPL, try it out

Yeah, mostly I lack time to catch up with Jonathan Slenders works, and have stronger backward compatibility requirements. b=But ptpython and pyipython are both great.

I should also look into Rich and Textual

https://bpython-interpreter.org/ is also another alternative python shell, and of course https://xon.sh

It's a nicer repl for python.

Python comes with IDLE as /usr/bin/idle but it doesn't have a corresponding .desktop file that would let it appear in the application menu. Otherwise, /usr/bin/python has an interactive mode and bpython is a wrapper around that interactive mode that has like syntax highlighting, indenting, undo, etc.

So, in this article, we will discuss bpython-django a fork from bpython that handles Django in a better way, currently it handles Models and can be extended as desired.

Someone posted bpython which I'm pretty ecstatic about but always good to know options.
