Help needed in setting up an IDE on Windows 10
2 points by aehsan4004 on March 26, 2024 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
I am trying to self-learn software development.

I have already cleared my CS50 Python & Cisco Python. Using VSCode for CS50.

I am now doing CS50 web development.

I have windows 10 OS. I have downloaded WSL, Ubuntu, python. Can someone please guide me how to setup an IDE on my laptop?

I can return the favour by offering you sourcing, manufacturing & supply chain solutions from India. (I am a solo founder with 12 years of export experience, trying to build software for this business)



Try PyCharm. I have used PyCharm to develop Python in Windows for a long time. Recently I wanted to run my image sorter under gunicorn (have more than one request using the CPU) and also use celery to manage tasks (e.g. thumbnail 160,000 images.) Both of these need POSIX for ideal performance so Ie installed WSL2 and I run Python under WSL2. PyCharm makes it easy, once I configure a WSL2 Python interpreter it “just works”, debugger and all, as if I was running Python normally as an .exe.


I find 'IDEs' a bit cluttered. For web development I use Sublime[0], a browser with Live Reload[1] and that's it. The browser's devtools are also handy.
