The discussion highlights the popularity of PyCharm among Python developers, noting its robust built-in debugger and the availability of a free community version. Eric is introduced as an alternative IDE, particularly useful for non-x86 systems like Raspberry Pi, although it requires some configuration due to its Qt application nature. Users also mention the use of Jupyter notebooks for data science, emphasizing their relevance for Python, Julia, and R. Additionally, the simplicity and efficiency of the Vim editor are acknowledged, showcasing its versatility despite being a more minimalistic tool.

TL;DR
Eric the ID(l)E (great search term guys!)
I guess all Python devs know about PyCharm (commercial, but with a gratis (community) version) which has a really nice debugger built in.

Perhaps you don't know about Eric. Eric is nice when you don't have an x86 based computer (Raspberry Pi), or an x86 not running one of the OSs supported by PyCharm. It's a bit fiddly to configure everything (typical Qt application) but it works.

Thanks, I’ve not heard of Eric.

A lot of my coworkers use PyCharm myself included as well as iPython notebooks now called Jupyter notebooks in reference to Julia, Python and R Data Science languages. I also use the humble vim editor which can do so much with so little ( sounding like Sir Winston there )
