Where Python fits
Choose it when following a course or maintaining a project that specifies Python.
Check before you choose
Use isolated project environments and check which interpreter your editor actually runs.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Start with the tools your project requires. An editor does not replace a language runtime, and a graphical Git client does not remove the need to understand branches and published changes.
