I wonder how this will stack up against Jetbrains PyCharm. I am always amazed at what the guys at how excellent PyCharm is, maybe Microsoft can do even better.

- int_19h 11y agoThere's a lot of common ground feature-wise, but both also have their strong points. PyCharm's biggest one is that it's cross-platform, but also good integration with GAE and AWS, and neat features such as Cython editing. PTVS, on the other hand, is Windows-only, but has neat stuff like debugging Python and C++ side by side: https://github.com/Microsoft/ptvs/wiki/Mixed-Mode-Debugging https://github.com/Microsoft/ptvs/wiki/Mixed-Mode-Debugging
- giancarlostoro 11y agoI was going to mention this, but didn't find the page. This is really neat. Not sure what other IDE's let you do that with Python.
- giancarlostoro 11y agoFrom personal experience, I've used both I have to say: Python Tools for Visual Studio is one of Microsoft's "best kept secrets" is how I describe it. I would say they're both exactly well-built solutions. If you have Visual Studio I highly recommend you give it a shot, it's really well defined in my opinion. It also has a plethora of features[1]. However, when I'm on Linux I usually use PyCharm. [1] https://github.com/Microsoft/PTVS/wiki/Features-Matrix https://github.com/Microsoft/PTVS/wiki/Features-Matrix
- lawnchair_larry 11y agoThe problem with this is that it's an add-on to a bloated behemoth that takes 10 GB and a reboot to install and nearly that much memory to run. PyCharm has a lot going for it simply by being not that.
