There is something I would like which I have not been able to find.

When I use the programming language R, I typically use the IDE RStudio. One of the things I like about RStudio is that it A: allows me to run individual lines of code, and B: it shows me the objects in the environment within another pane (see attached screenshot).

I find this extremely useful when working with code that is not mine - if I run part of the code and see the objects that are created, it saves debugging all the types (is it a list or a vector? etc)

I'd like to have a similar IDE that works with Python in the same way. Does such an IDE exist? Is it PyCharm?

#python #rstats #rstudio

@spacefinner RStudio will handle Python as well. Does it not do what you want?

@zornslemmon Although I knew RStudio handles Python I wasn't aware there was an environment window toggle to switch to viewing the Python environment! Thank you. It's not ideal [1] but it's good and will save me moving to another IDE.

[1] it doesn't show a Python list like [1,2] as "list of 2", for example, but instead just shows [1,2], which is slightly annoying because my forgetting the syntax of structures in Python is the problem I'm trying to solve.
