The community edition of PyCharm is pretty widely regarded. VSCode is also pretty good but I would say it's more of an impressive text editor than an IDE.

- mdaniel 5y agoupdate: ah, great minds think alike, I guess: https://github.com/portapps/intellij-idea-community-portable/blob/master/main.go#L40-L44 https://github.com/portapps/intellij-idea-community-portable... although there's no obvious reference to PyCharm, I'd bet $1 it would work the same --- While I haven't personally tried it, I bet by setting "IDEA_PROPERTIES=%CD%\portable.properties" and then: idea.config.path=./portable-config idea.system.path=./portable-system idea.plugins.path=./portable-plugins idea.log.path=./portable-log there's a reasonable chance PyCharm (and, as the values imply, IJ) would run portably, too I use those overrides when trying to isolate my copy of IJ for reporting bugs, but I don't recall if they work _exactly_ the same for PyCharm, and for sure I haven't confirmed that setting them prevents writing into other directories
