I'd strongly second the suggestion to use the paid (GPT-4 based) ChatGPT Code Interpreter. I've found it to be incredibly strong/useful for interactive Python coding and it does a very good job explaining itself. You can use the custom instructions like "I'm an experienced Ruby developer that last used Python in 2005" and it can provide much better results as well. I've only poked briefly at it, but https://deepseekcoder.github.io/ https://deepseekcoder.github.io/ evals as very strong at code and is probably the best open model available. You can chat with it for free w/ a signup (or run it yourself if you're looking for a project). If you're looking to poke around with local models more easily, you can give KillianLucas/open-interpreter a try (in conjunction with LM Studio or w/ an OpenAI or Anthropic API key), it's pretty neat (be very careful with code execution, I'd recommend doing it in a sandbox lest you accidentally trash your system).
