pycharm

hi I'm 14 and I am trying to learn the key logger part of Tkinter I was working my way through the course and I was wondering whether I should use work spaces or use python idle because pycharm costs quite a lot of money

Pycharm actually has a community edition which is free to use and for most things you won't need a pro license. Download the community edition in the link below to use the free version https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/#

Another good python IDE is spyder, it's open sourced https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder

If you're interested in general purpose text editors you can try atom or sublime text these can be customized with downloadable plugins

The PyCharm Community edition seems to be free. Also, since your a student of Treehouse, you might be able to get the Pro version for free (I'm not exactly sure, though).
