I asked someone a few minutes ago "which app are people using for python?"
The answer I got was "PyCharm or VSCode" (I forgot what the or one was, thy-something).

Trying to keep it short:
•I've used python before (for digital tech in school)
•I've basically forgotten everything (apart from python is sort of english and [print: "Hello world"] or something along those lines)
•I like hands-on learning, rather than videos but I guess that's what Il let recommended anyways

I would also like to know how the 'pip install' CMD works.
I've only ever used REPLIT for Python and I'm unsure what app I should use that's more beginner friendly.

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

PyCharm is more beginnerfriendly, as it has already most features you'll need. VSCode is lightweight and thus for lots of features you need plugins, which takes a lot of time to set up.

# hexed sleet what sthe issue

I'm a beginner. I've only used it to do basic coding. Coding responses to questions, doing calculations, the bare basics. I thought to myself "could I make a voice assistant in python?" (There are tutorials and stuff but I wanted to get the bare basics down before i crazy).

I just want to know what app should I be using, what commands I should know and what are some important things I need to know to help me get better at learning Python (again).

I would like to know any tips, tricks or important things I should take note.
I think I've already got "what app should I use?" Done.

If at some point you need to pip install something via a terminal and it says something something not recognized, then try py -m pip install

pip is a package manager. It's the standart for python. With it you can install packages that aren't in the standard library. Python Installers include it by now so you most likely won't have to separately download it. With pip install (package name) you can install a package.
