P圜harm does, of course, offer a lot more features. Okey, which IDE do I think is the best? I think that Spyder, still, is a great IDE. I know that some people find this attractive they don’t have to use the command line. P圜harms have support for VCS systems (e.g., Git and Mercurial) is also a great feature that is in favor for P圜harm. Both distributions come with most of the Python packages that you may need (and probably more than you need!) Thus, you will get a lot of what you need to write code and Spyder in one installation. Anaconda is cross-platform and WinPython for Windows only. Spyder is also part of two great Python distributions, Anaconda and WinPython. If you are a Windows user, you just download an installation file ( Download P圜harm).

In fact, if you are running Ubuntu you can just add a PPA (See here on how to install P圜harm this way) and install P圜harm using your favorite package manager. It is easier to install Spyder (at least in Linux) but P圜harm is not that hard to install. Spyder help/object explorer Spyder vs Pycharm
