Is there something like RStudio for Python? [closed]

Answer 1

Pycharm is a really decent IDE. From what I have seen so far it is the most similar to Rstudio. Another nice piece is that it allows you to install new Python libraries in a fashion similar to Rstudio (which otherwise can be a nightmare). There is now a free 'community' edition.

Answer 2

Wing IDE, and probably also other Python IDEs like PyCharm and PyDev have features like this. In Wing you can either select and execute code in the integrated Python Shell or if you're debugging something you can interact with the paused debug program in a shell (called the Debug Probe). There is also special support for matplotlib, in case you're using that, so that you can work with plots interactively.

Answer 3

For a nicer interactive shell for Python, have a look at DreamPie. It's not really an IDE though (as RStudio seems to be?)

Answer 4

I think it is worth while to mention that RStudio v1.1.359 Preview is released. It has terminal feature that can be used for Python.

Answer 5

Check out Rodeo from Yhat if you're looking for something like RStudio for Python.

Rodeo has:

• text editor (uses Atom under the hood)
• Vim / Emacs mode
• an IPython console
• autocomplete
• docstrings
• ability to see plots, dataframes, variables

You might want to look into JupyterLab (the next generation of Jupyter Notbooks): https://github.com/jupyter/jupyterlab.

JupyterLab aims to create a more desktop-like experience on the Web.

Update: As of March 2018 JupyterLab is in beta. "The beta releases are suitable for general usage. For JupyterLab extension developers, the extension APIs will continue to evolve until the 1.0 release. Eventually, JupyterLab will replace the classic Jupyter Notebook after JupyterLab reaches 1.0."

To run Jupyter Lab as a Desktop Application, see christopherroach.com/articles/jupyterlab-desktop-app (Thanks to PatrickT).

Here's a quick preview:

You can arrange a notebook next to a graphical console atop a terminal that is monitoring the system, while keeping the file manager on the left:
