Pycharm is used for Python Development. It was my first ever IDE that I started using for my Python, Machine Learning Projects and it's been the easiest IDE I find using till now. It has a simple User Interface to understand and is very beginner friendly. It can be installed on any Operating System that you use. From a Frontend Developer's perspective if you use Django Framework then PyCharm is the best tool for you as it supports many additional packages to work on. The Code Playground is very interactive and has many features like Code Coloring, auto-completion, etc. Its saves a lot of time for debugging the code too.
