Overwhelmed by the Simplicity of Python. Any Recommendation?

[Mike C]

Same here. Debugging in Python is annoying, I like to step through my code line by line, it's impossible to do it with object-oriented programming language.

Also, there's no good REPL IDE.

Spyder barely works with some basic features. PyCharm, the most popular, takes too long to start, and you have to setup folders and directories EVERY SINGLE TIME at startup.

  at this stage of my own process in learning, i'm
trying to read the FAQs i can find, any tutorials,
answers to specific questions on stackoverflow on
particular topics to see if i can understand the
issues, etc.

  as for my own code, yes, it's horrible at the
moment, but to me working code is always the
final arbitor.  i much prefer simple and stepwise
refinement if speed isn't the issue i think clarity
and simplicity is more important.

  speed is only more important for large projects
that process a ton of data.

  in 3-5yrs i expect to understand more of what
the theory and more conceptual things going on as
i read more of the history and how the language
has developed.

  i won't consider myself fluent until i start
"thinking" in it and can visualise the data
structures/objects in my head and such as i
currently do for C.
