TL;DR
For complicated reasons it would be convenient for me to work with both IDEs. I can work with IDLE, but I get error messages when I try to work with Anaconda.
Hi,
I would like to be able to use both IDLE and Anaconda Navigator/Jupyter IDEs for Python 3.7 (64-bit), 2.7 respectfully. I can open up and work with IDLE. I understand Python 2.x is for legacy systems mostly but I spent a lot of time using data analysis packages in/with Anaconda for 2.7 and I am having trouble finding similar packages or just similar Data packs with IDLE for 3.x.

Alternatively, if someone knows of training for Data Science/Analysis using IDLE, Python 3.x , I would appreciate refs. I am just having trouble going through a maze of setups.

I use Visual Studio Code, but then I don't do a lot of work in Python any more. When I did, I used PyCharm which I found excellent.

This may seem a bit off-topic, but I have recently noticed the headline "Anaconda and JetBrains Join Forces to Launch ‘PyCharm for Anaconda’" - if I was getting back into Python for data science I would definitely check this out.

Thanks Pbuk,
Have you heard about doing ML with SQL Server 2017 (Bottom Option):

No, I have no experience of ML. I just had a quick look at some of the MS stuff, it looks as though it could make sense in a production environment (where SQL Server is always at home) but I would hate to have to set up a development environment for it - in most SQL Server dev scenarios there is someone who is paid to do that for you!

You might be interested in this survey - note that JetBrains own PyCharm so it is not independent, and I would never use a survey for anything other than highlighting things I hadn't paid much attention to anyway.
