To Community,

Greetings!

Could you suggest a good open source IDE for Django? URL to download will be helpful.

Thanks,

I am using Visual Studio Code, and I love it (https://code.visualstudio.com/).

What is considered "good" is highly subjective, so you will get widely
different answers depending on who you ask.

I personally use Emacs like I do for almost everything else, so of
course that is the best ;-)

You should at least try to clarify a bit more what your requirements are
apart from just "open source" (platform, features required, language
support etc.).

Kind regards,

Kasper Laudrup

PyCharm is fantastic in terms of code completion, linting etc and if you're a student, you might get their professional edition for free as well. Please note that they have a community edition that is open source.

But free edition of PyCharm expires after 1 month or so.

Visual Studio Code is very easy to use and excellent for python. You just need to download the Python language support, django extension and you're good to go.

Thank you Kasper!

I am intended to create a personal website to start with.

It will have videos, text articles and images. I am planning to deploy it on GCP.

Thanks.

This is not entirely true. The Pycharm has two versions: Pycharm Professional and Pycharm Community

Pycharm Professional has a free trial that expires after 1 month.  After the trial time, you must purchase a license to continue to use Pycharm Professional.

Pycharm Community is open-source, free and never expires.


If you are a student you can get licenses of Professional versions for free:  https://www.jetbrains.com/student/

Github also has a student package: https://education.github.com/pack

VS Code works like a Charm. (Pun intended :-) )

There are lint, autocomplete and git extensions which you can use for setting up dev environment.

agreed, but...

pycharm is dedicated to python and vs code is generally suitable for any others assuming the person operating can configure their environments.

the person was asking for an IDE suitable for python specifically which is why I throughout pycharm

ultimately, I would go with vs code but it takes a bit more knowledge than pycharm does

Why don't you just try a few IDE's and text editors, IDK how much OSS or NonOSS IDE will affect your project, but if 'you' don't feel comfortable with it, I can guarantee, that will affect your project.

Assuming u are not in a limited internet connection package, download a few of the available ones, and start using them.

PyCharm IDE is a great tool. But it may feel big and bulky sometimes, 
while VSCode editor is faster in terms of opening projects.

I tried Geanny, didn't like it, because it made some weird behavior I terms of indentation and tabs, I couldn't figure how I could make "tab=4spaces" instead of "tab=1tab".

Vim and Vim like ones are too difficult for me, so I skipped. 

I saw people developing python in Visual Studio. Again, amazing IDE, might feel a bit heavy at one point.

And last but not least, The one and Only IDLE
I still like it, and for quick scripting and quick checks, amazing. 

So, pick one that is comfortable for you. What is easy to me might not be the same for u. Try a few, find what u like.

Happy Coding

Every time I see one these which is the best IDE - I never see WingIDE.  I often wonder why.  It works as well as any other of the suggestions?

Himanshu,

 

I agree, IDE’s are a really personal choice, everyone as you can see has a different view of what is good, I for instance Love Eclipse, mainly as I have used it for 10+ years, I know it quirks(all IDE’s have them) and as I work with c , Python, embedded code, SQL and others, it simply fills the bill of a one stop shop for me.  Currently I have one setup with PyDev (the python plugin), the c developers plugin, a SQL admin app (DBeaver) , and many other plugins to simply make things easy for me. Using it for Django / Python is a breeze, especially when it come to debugging, one button to start the system in regular or debugging mode, understands the python threads created in Django,  and allows me to find bugs and strange interactions easily.

 

So my suggestion is, . to figure out what makes a “good” IDE to you, shop through the suggestions from the replies, and choose a top two or three that seem to fit the bill for you, and then spend some time with them, I think following that path will lead you to what works for you. Remember an IDE is not just an editor, it an environment, so it should cover all the bases you need, for Django work, you need the editor (for Python, CSS, strait text, …) , a debugger, DB admin and management, some web admin,…

 

Cheers

Anthony
