I learnt a little bit of Java programming, aided by the Eclipse IDE and Oracle Java repository, which has exhaustive example codes and object library resources, references, explanations, et al. To me Python appeared to lack these resources. Of late, I have been browsing the website, askpython.com, which said that the same facility is available in Python too. The page, https://www.askpython.com/python-programming, in particular says about an IDE: "... PyCharm from JetBrains is the most popular Python IDE. It has a Community Edition, which is free and open source ..." I recently modified a "word frequency counting for a text file" script to have the output redirected on to another text file rather than printing the result on the console, and I must say that the programming is very simple and elegant. So now that I am enthused, could I please be given a little more guidance on the following aspects please?: (1) exhaustive example codes (2) object library resources, references, explanations, et al (3) PyCharm from JetBrains and any information that is thought relevant. My regards and best wishes. Rajib Bandopadhyay An Open Source enthusiast
