How these alternatives were chosen
Tools PyCharm names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Devtool. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
PyCharm also lists VS Code with Python extensions, Jupyter Lab, Spyder, Visual Studio Community as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
