Hey peeps,


There are many different flavors of Python available. If my interest in mainly in working with ZOS-API, are any of these flavors preferable over the others? What's the best Python distribution for ZOS-API?

Hi Mark


I'm using PyCharm as Michael H. but I haven't tried any other so it is not a recommendation really.

Hi Mark,


my personal preference is actually Anaconda. It's pretty convinient and straightforward in how to setup Python on your computer. In the end for the day-to-day work I think it comes down to your preferred IDE. For me the Spyder development environment works very well since I like its dark-color-scheme for the syntax coloring and the clear variable explorer which allows you to copy/paste data for some quick analysis or also makes it possible to interact with the variables or arrays which sometimes is quite useful.
