Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Update
I've been wanting to get back to Python for a while.

So I clicked into the newbie educational tool - Mu.

Going through the tutorial for the simple environment I hit this:

https://codewith.mu/en/tutorials/1.0/plotter

With this running full speed, no delay, I see the editor use 97% CPU (maxing a single core with 3 cores left) and a python process taking 15 to 20% of another core. I have no system lag in any other windows, and I have a bunch of active web pages, top process, etc.

I wanted to see how local system file system speed was. Historically a "find / -print" was a pretty good indication.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ time sudo find / -print | wc -l
331024

real 0m1.923s
user 0m0.677s
sys 0m1.133s

Instantaneous from my point of view.

I've been out of the game for about 6 years. This thing is far faster than anything I've had before other than servers starting at $20K.

Does anyone recommend a Python development/education environment other than Mu for me to try?
New Anaconda is popular, but huge. Jupyter?
I've got it installed on my work machine for a few tasks, but haven't played with it much.

DeLong seems to be doing more of his teaching in Jupyter notebooks.

https://jupyter.org/

I don't know anything much about trying to install them on a Raspberry Pi.

HTH a little. Good luck!

Cheers,
Scott.
New Python comes with IDLE
aka Python’s Integrated Development and Learning Environment

https://docs.python.org/3/library/idle.html

But it is rather flimsy as current IDE expectations go. My current go-to is JetBrain's PyCharm. It runs on the Pi 4. (I only have up to the 3B which may be a bit too flimsy for that thing - haven't tried it on ARM.)
New Visual Studio Code
No, really. It's big but it's one of the favorite editors out there right now for good reasons.

I'm sure I've heard those last 3 lines in an unsavoury movie.
