Advice on a Python coding environment

1

Hi, Sorry for the daft question, but can anyone offer me some advice on creating a Python environment to make coding easy?

I’m trying to learn Python and PYQT6 at the same time, as I feel a GUI is essential.

I’m using Linux ( Linux Mint ).

I’ve followed the PYQT6 installation and setup instructions. On Linux Mint this didn’t work as it seemed the provided Python version was not supported. So I used VirtualBox and an Ubuntu VM. Here I got things working once. But when returning to the VM I was unable to get any PYQT stuff to work ( errors reporting missing Imports ).

So how do people setup an environment that is pretty much single click. ie Edit a file then run it to see if it works? I was using Studio Code but feel its overkill for my needs.

I don’t need anything fancy just simple and reliable.

What do others use?

Cheers

Alan

Ok think I’ve solved it.

Instead of following the tutotial and installing the venv stuff, just use the system wide install - apt.

With that my IDE now picks up all the libraries and all the errors have gone away.
