#spyderide — Public Fediverse posts

I have used #SpyderIDE since 2017. It is what I learned to code #Python on and I love the workflow.

However, I realize that it is limited in comparison to many other IDEs. As a result I've tried many alternatives in hope of being able to migrate to something better and learn new tricks, but nothing's been just right. I got VSCode the closest, but it refused to cross the finish line.

I had nearly given up, but then I heard of #Positron, and after the first try I knew I had found the one!

I have been exploring writing #Python in the somewhat new #PositronIDE from the #RStudio developers, and it seems like it could overtake my beloved #SpyderIDE as a daily driver.

It has an integrated IPython console working out of the box, which has been a massive pain to get working properly on other #VSCode derivatives. Furthermore, RStudio and Spyder have a similar layout, so I do find this Positron layout with its plots and variables panels quite familiar and intuitive.

Hey #Python people, I'm trying to set up my #VSCode to have a similar IPython terminal to #SpyderIDE, it is extremely handy in my workflow, but have no idea how to make it happen. Any tips?

I am turning slowly into someone who kind of likes #VSCode or its derivatives such as #VSCodium or #OSSCode. Maybe my #SpyderIDE days are over if I can get a similar IPython console and variable explorer set up easily.

Somehow, after multiple attempts over the years, I've managed to get my #conda environments to play nicely with the IDE.

TIL about #SpyderIDE, a #datascience oriented #python IDE.

It looks promising but seems to only do remote kernels over ssh. Would love to see a way to connect it to JupyterHub kernels via the API. I just don't have the time/energy to do it myself right now.

I have tried numerous times to get #VSCode (or its derivatives) to work with my #conda environments. It has never worked.

I just tried again, because I found out I could use it similarly as I use #SpyderIDE. As previously, VS Code refuses to recognize conda environments or #Python interpreters installed into these environments, even if the path is explicitly given.

I have also eyed #PulsarIDE, but it doesn't seem to have the same level of support as VS Code, VS Codium and the rest.

I've been thinking about myself as a coder a lot. I learnt #Python through its #Anaconda variety and #SpyderIDE. The course I initially went on used those, so I use them to write #SpatialAnalysis scripts.

However, I wonder whether I should learn what #JupyterNotebooks are about and potentially another IDE like #PyCharm or #VSCode / #VSCodium, but also actual software architecture and development things. Not to mention things like #Rstats, #RustLang, or #GoLang that interest me.

I got frustrated when I wanted to install a library in the #spyderIDE. It couldn't find pip. installing pip is part of #python. So i installed the latest python. I set spyder to use latest python. I installed the library using pip from the commandline. spyder did not find library. I try to install spyder from the cmd. pip fails to install it because of a rust dependency? This is because of what python install I have?

At this point I am frustrated.

I uninstalled spyder and python.
