Picard Python IDE

Noob here. Which python IDE/editor/dev tools are folks using when developing Picard? Looking for getting started information.

I just started using VS Code for my Picard development work and I’m pleased with it so far.

Thanks I got it working. I’m going to try full version of visual studio tonight.

I’m using PyCharm (free community edition). Not tried VS Code.

Are their visual designers available for the UI?

As picard uses QT as the gui toolkit you probably want an ide that supports that.
Kdevelop or qt creator are designed to build qt applications so you may want to look at one of those.
You can use these to edit your gui xml files and then go back to your python ide of choice for the rest.
