I like Thonny
I started an on-line python course that used Pycharm as its basis. I had previously used Thonny to look at code for various programs. I found Pycharm to be over-featured for a beginner like me. Thonny seems much more on my level so I am continuing the course using it instead. And successfully I might add.

Open source recreation of the PS Vita game -- Calling all creators
I would like to recreate the Plastic Memories PS Vita game as a free, open source, cross-platform (any platform SFML runs on*) game for everyone to enjoy. I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to put into it (I don't have much time between school and various other projects of mine) but I can handle the code, coordination, and source code hosting.

Abstract Classes in Python
Personally, I like to debug and step through code to see where I went wrong so I'm going to paste the code into my Thonny IDE. I like Thonny for small code challenges like this because it doesn't require setting up a whole project just to run and step through code. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
Ask HN: Do you know any good coding platform for education?
Thonny is designed speciffically for that purpose https://thonny.org . For beginners the main advantage is the easier install and maintainance, and the less intimidating/cluttered environment. IMHO it makes some decent tradeoffs, and it is an onramp for students evolving to VSCode or PyCharm when they feel ready. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
Macropad with KMK
I use the serial console with a tool like Thonny to debug KMK/CircuitPython code on my device. Running something like import main; main.keyboard.go() usually prints a useful error message. Source: 12 months ago
