• Abstract Classes in Python

  Personally, I like to debug and step through code to see where I went wrong so I'm going to paste the code into my Thonny IDE. I like Thonny for small code challenges like this because it doesn't require setting up a whole project just to run and step through code. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Do you know any good coding platform for education?

  Thonny is designed speciffically for that purpose https://thonny.org . For beginners the main advantage is the easier install and maintainance, and the less intimidating/cluttered environment. IMHO it makes some decent tradeoffs, and it is an onramp for students evolving to VSCode or PyCharm when they feel ready. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Macropad with KMK

  I use the serial console with a tool like Thonny to debug KMK/CircuitPython code on my device. Running something like import main; main.keyboard.go() usually prints a useful error message. Source: 10 months ago

• Help me Please

  If you think you need an IDE then Thonny is a good one for beginners. It does more than a simple text editor, some of which you won't use initially, but it is more to learn on top of learning python. Source: 10 months ago

• What’s an free bare bones IDE for Python that works smoothly out of the box?

  VSCode is good but I wouldn't describe it as "barebones". I recommend Thonny. It's a Python IDE specifically for beginners. Source: 10 months ago

• There's just TOO MUCH material!!!

  All you really need to learn python is just an installed python interpreter, the command line and a text editor like Notepad, but that's a bit too minimal perhaps. There are things called IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) that bundle up tools such as an editor, build tools and a debugger into one package. I think that a full-blown IDE is overload for a beginner with too much to learn that isn't actually... Source: 10 months ago

• Now, NiceGUI has a build-in persistent user/session based storage.

  Maybe a goofy question, and definitely unrelated to the post topic, but: I’m using Thonny to learn Python: can I use NiceGUI with Thonny? Source: 11 months ago

• What is your favorite IDE/Text Editor to use for Python?

  If you're learning how to program for the first time, I generally recommend Thonny. Lightweight, full of useful features, but more importantly, the debugger really helps break down what is happening "under-the-hood" when you execute your code. Source: about 1 year ago

• [VALL-E] Is there a .exe gui install of tortoise available yet?

  No, but there are python distros that are pure exes, e.g. thonny. It's not really hard to follow instructions, I'm sure chatGPT can clear up any uncertainties 😃. BUT an Nvidia GPU is required to run it. Unfortunately the colab version is currently broken, I'm sure it's easily fixable but the original author doesn't want to maintain it.

• Can we reevaluate the position on using chatgpt?

  I code with the editor thonny https://thonny.org/ to visualize better, its just using a tool like any other. I use vscode but thonny supercharges me, when I get stuck sometimes, and there was a gap but I bridged it with chatgpt. Source: about 1 year ago

• Jupyterlab Desktop

  Re debug experience I completely agree - it just isn’t sexy… yet? Browser dev tools have proven that debugging is super important. It feels like code debuggers have been stagnant for past couple decades. https://thonny.org/ has been featured on HN recently. Looks at least as an iterative step forward. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
