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.
becuase it seems odd that python is locked behind a paywall
or is pycharm not nessacary
Pycharm community version is free for everyone
ok
im in the pycharm app how do i llike
like
do that
sorry im like a complete begginer
i started trying to learn how to start python like 20 minutes ago
It's not necessary as you can technically write code in a text editor, or use a different IDE (integrated development environment), but pycharm is quite good
You get pycharm from the Jetbrains website
im just following a youtube tutorial and its saying get pycharm
ive downloaded pycharm
and made an account
but its just saying i have to pay i dont see a community version
Was it not the Community Edition you downloaded?
There's at least two different downloads
"Community Edition" is below "Professional Edition"
@empty glen I use pycharm every day. and if you're just getting started with python, I would not use it.
why?
the way it manages environments (which you don't know what those are yet) is often confusing for beginners. I recommend starting by using a plain text editor (like notepad++ or sublime) and running everything from a terminal
You can also use IDLE, which gets installed alongside python
Its a simple editor for beginners
im just gonna keep pycharm installed because ill need it soon
Stelercus does make a good point though, learning an IDE like Pycharm can add extra complexity to the process as a beginner
If you feel overwhelmed try IDLE as suggested or writing the code in another text editor, lots of them have syntax highlighting
