Hello!
I am a student of a medical school and I would like to learn with MNE-Python so I could use it in a research I am planning. I want to get things started step by step, so first I am deciding which IDE to use. When I worked in python in my pre-med years I started with vscode and then tried out pyCharm and I continued with pycharm. But found both good enough for my purposes back then. But now I am lost while deciding. Which IDE would you recommend to a complete beginner at using MNE-Python?
Thank you for any tip and recommendation, I really appreciate it.
Both PyCharm and Visual Studio Code are very good Python IDEs. Choose whatever you like best and/or what your friends are using. You can’t go wrong with any of these two editors!

Thank you very much! I will try pycharm and see how it goes.
@LadislavSlechta I second both VSCode and PyCharm are good options. I am personally happy using MNE in VSCode. I was using PyCharm (community edition) a few years ago, but I tend to prefer VSCode.
Another option would be to check-out Spyder, free and open-source Python IDE geared for data science work: https://www.spyder-ide.org/
Finding your Python tooling stack that fits your workflow and needs always takes a bit of trying out to my experience.
