Overall Satisfaction with Spyder

Spyder is a Python IDE, and it is used by myself and my peers to write and run various Python scripts. Being a scientific organisation, this often means running scripts that will perform scientific functions for us. Of particular use to us is the built in plot feature within the GUI, meaning that as we run our scripts, useful plots are visible there and then.

Pros

  • Python IDE
  • No need to install python itself
  • Plots
  • Shows variables
  • Can show other data files

Cons

  • Remember GUI layout settings
  • Allow plots to be viewed in their own window/made bigger
  • Choose python version
  • Easy to analyse data
  • Easy to be able to visualise data
  • Easy to convert data from one domain to another.
It is fairly straightforward to use. Pretty much good to go as soon as you install it. The IDE itself is very user friendly, and it is only limited by whatever limitations Python has as a language. Great for those who want to run their scripts quickly or do some Python programming without fussing.

Do you think Spyder delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Spyder's feature set?

Yes

Did Spyder live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Spyder go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Spyder again?

Yes

Spyder is really easy to use, and various scripts etc can easily be imported into it as needed. It is great to use when you need to run some python scripts on your data, do some data analysis, and run some plots.
Don't see any real limitations or where it is less appropriate, only limited by whatever limitations Python has.
