Ask HN: Python developers at big companies what is your setup?

#1
I am trying to transition from .net to python, but finding conflicting information online about what people Actually Use.

People recommend their favorite tool, but when you look into it, it is barely supported or already abandoned.

I will focus on working with LLMs.

Edit: By tools I meant everything related to python development starting from python version, package manager, environment manager, IDE and ending with deployment tools

Whatever is sanctioned by the IT department and has been hammered into the permission system. Red tape all around. And when a new enterprise tool is purchased it may or may not change. (I only believed it once it was lived through.)

So what tools were sanctioned by IT?

Black is the main thing you want IMO.

I think language servers and autocomplete are much more useful for .net (I used to do a lot of C# as a freelancer in college) than they are for python. Personally I just open a REPL and tab around in that if I need it but I do that maybe once a month. Most software is well organized such that you can keep enough of the theory in your head for the default nvim config to work easily. A small FITM model with a ring context like Qwen can help a bit with boilerplate if you really want autocomplete.

Python just isn't that verbose.

What do you mean by “tool”? Do you mean IDE/editor, or something else?

By that I meant everything related to python development starting from python version, package manager, environment manager, IDE and ending with deployment tools

This is a great question.
