Hi everyone

I have built a few django apps, but on a very basic level and only for my own usage. Little helpers for self management. So far I just used vi(m).

Now I tried out jupyter for the first time. Looks great and thanks to a few links from Google I could also load the django kernel in jupyter. Still I am not sure how to use juypter in order to develop django apps. Is this making sense to you? I either have one of those demonstration-/documentation-oriented notebooks or I have a plain py file as usual in django apps.

My two questions are:
1. Do you use juypter for django development?
2. If not, which editor or free IDE do you use?

Best regards
M

Hi, I am using the free version of Paycharm.
VS code is also good and is smaller than Paycharm.

the quick answer NO, no use jupyter for developing django, better search a IDE like Visual Code, or sublime text text editor

You can create virtualenv and use VS code . That's the free and better  IDE for Django or any other web development.

I recommend Pycharm, it makes development fast, helps in debugging and what not.

I use sublime text with python kite, that's very light weight and very flexible to use.

No and I've never heard of it, but now I have. Thanks.

I use Emacs with Elpy (https://elpy.readthedocs.io/). There are some
Django specific modes for Emacs as well, but I've been quite happy with
just Python integration and haven't really felt the need for much more.

The reason I prefer Emacs is that I can use the same editor not only for
the different programming languages I use, but also writing
documentation in e.g. Markdown and of course all the other more or less
exotic stuff you can do in Emacs.

I've never really become good at Emacs or writing Elisp, but it's just
what I've used since I studied ages ago and I haven't really tried
anything else that could convince me to change.

To be honest, I don't think I'd choose Emnacs today and I cannot exactly
recommend it, just though I'd share what I use since you asked :-)

Kind regards,

Thank you very much. Then I see that I should use jupyter only for other projects, but not for django. And you have provided me with alternatives. I always thought these IDEs would be very expensive.
