Looking for a "custom" script editor

PyCharm: Trying to import a module that was installed through pip

import mutagen.mp3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm 2019.1.3\helpers\pydev\_pydev_bundle\pydev_import_hook.py", line 21, in do_import module = self._system_import(name, *args, **kwargs) ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mutagen'

Same thing (++) with VS code. I don't doubt you're right in that they can provide what I want, it just feels unnecessarily complicated to set up. Lots of steps, need to follow tutorials just to set them up, google stuff that comes up. I'm sure I could use 30 minutes to get one of these IDEs up and running, then some hours on customizing the UI's, and I know that I'm probably coming off as lazy, I just find it weird that there isn't more minimalistic out-of-the box editors that just works.


Edit: I suppose there are alternatives, the challenge is just to find them. This is basically exactly what I want: http://paulwinex.com/portfolio/multi-script-editor/.

That is because pycharm is using its own embedded python interpreter instead of hte one you install things to with pip. You can modify which interpreter your project is using by going to File -> Settings -> Project <Name> -> Project Interpreter -> Project Interpreter drop down menu -> Show all -> + symbol to add your system interpreter

Or you could simply create a new project using the correct interpreter.
   

Well there are minimalistic out-of-the box editors, but with that you also lose features such as the specific one you are looking for.

You can try PyScripter very simple to use,just paste in code and push Run button,don't even need to save.

PyCharm: Trying to import a module that was installed through pip

Importing module/package has nothing to with editor/IDE.
Learn where pip install and sometime need to setup same version in editor/IDE.

A demo,it's all command line cmd install/test of module/package.
I use cmder here but commands is just the same in cmd.

# Show python.exe placement E:\div_code λ python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)" C:\python37\python.exe # Show pip version and placement(will only install to this version) E:\div_code λ pip -V pip 19.1.1 from c:\python37\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7) # install E:\div_code λ pip install mutagen Collecting mutagen Downloading ...... Installing collected packages: mutagen Successfully installed mutagen-1.42.0 # Test that it work. E:\div_code λ python Python 3.7.3 (v3.7.3:ef4ec6ed12, Mar 25 2019, 21:26:53) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import mutagen >>> mutagen.version_string '1.42.0' >>> from mutagen.mp3 import MP3 >>> # No errors >>> exit()

When all work from command line,most point to same Python interpreter in editor/IDE.
Eg for Pycharm Configure a Python interpreter.

Basic install here Python 3.6/3.7 and pip installation under Windows.
If not work exactly as i showed over here.

Has a tutorial here VS Code from start .
It has all option you want and more.
Eg also extensions like AREPL if want a live output.
