Python IDEs
In this lesson, we'll understand what Python IDEs are and why they are so useful.
We'll cover the following
What is an IDE?
An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a software package which allows us to code in a certain language or environment. It is isolated from the rest of our system, making it safe and easy to use.
We can think of IDEs as off-the-shelf platforms which take away the hassle of installing a new language on our system so that we can move on to the actual code. Furthermore, IDEs usually have all the cool features for a language which would otherwise have to be added manually.
This saves a lot of time, especially for beginners who do not have time to learn how to install a language and its packages.
