I would like to get more experience with the different elements that running and writing python involves. I used Pycharm to start writing code.

Pycharm is great at simplifying the whole process, which includes obscuring even the simplest parts. I'd like to move my projects to a more hands-on editor. I really like syntax highlighting and completion so an editor with those attributes is preferred.

  • What operating system are you using? Do you have any other requirement regarding new python editor other than it must come *with syntax highlighting and completion*? – Daweo Sep 02 '21 at 07:45

You can try to use Atom or VSCode. More information about atom can be found here: https://atom.io/ About VSCode try this link: https://code.visualstudio.com/ When it comes to moving projects to another text editor, PyCharm creates certain files in order to store the scripts, and you can find those files like this:

as you can see, this is the left side window in pycharm, and next to the title there is a path. That path is where the file is located.

You can drag and drop the scripts to the icon of the new text editor in order to open them from there.
