I'm using PyCharm, if you have anything better than that don't hesitate. But the type annotations are obviously something that also needs to be added to all other code I touch, not just my own.
I’ve used PyCharm from time to time and I find it great but I kind of feel like you need a different approach. Coming from Java it made sense but Python is a different mindset once you get into it. I think you’re far better off treating Python as a highly structured scripting language and using an advanced text editor. I’ve come to believe that these very powerful IDEs are a kind of a window dressing that makes the more serious languages easier to work with. With more flexible languages the language itself is the tooling but it’s not so easy to audit at the end of the day.
Although arguably a more 'difficult' language I sleep much better at night when using Rust, because Python is always in a hurry to get a wrong program running. So then, one has to test like hell. So I feel I'm still ahead of the game.
It’s horses for courses. I’d never use Python for the kind of thing that rust is for. At the same time, I’ve never had occasion to use rust for the stuff I do.
EDIT - just want to add: I'm not au fait with the specifics of Rust but I presume from what I've heard about it that it also supports my position, as an advanced language, that the features you need are in the language so a heavy-weight IDE isn't so necessary.
