Pycharm

Overview

Pycharm is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) made by Jetbrains s.r.o. that is made for Python.

However, there may be alternate IDEs like Spyder, Komodo edit 12, or IDLE. Also, there are keyboard shortcuts: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/mastering-keyboard-shortcuts.html.
