• Python3 - IDLE - A very simple, but useful, code editor for beginners who are starting to learn Python! It is the official Python code editor, so I recommend it a lot for starters!
  
• PyCharm - A very useful code editor for those who have more experience, it has a very good debugger and grammar corrector, and it keeps track of your variables and makes suggestions! I don't think beginners will find this features useful, because it is more designed for intermediate-advanced coder, so if you are on that level, make sure to check it out! I highly recommend it!
  
• Replit - It is pretty similar to the official editor, it is commonly used for code hosting (For example to make servers in Scratch, check the Scratch connection libraries) and to make code with other people!
  
• VS code - It is almost like PyCharm, one of the most useful functions is that you can code in other coding languages and you can also can share your code, it also has a very good debugger!

• Q: Can I be a helper?
  A: Please tell your experience/IDE's/Programming Languages/An example program
  
  
• Q: Why isn't my library (E.g. ScratchAttach) not working?
  A: Make sure that your library is on your computer by typing the same command pip install scratchattach into your terminal (If your IDE has one, use it, not the shell) and if it says that it's already in your computer, contact the PyHelp forum here! Also, if you're trying this:
  

  pip install scratchattach
  import scratchattach as scratch3
  scratch3.login("Joshisaurio", "123blahBlahBlahMypasswordlol(Not my real password)")
  

  That won't work, you have to type the pip command on your terminal.

Well, that's the general Python topic. It could include providing help - but perhaps it makes sense to break help off into it's own topic? Particularly if the help topic were designed just for giving help and had a nice index to helpful resources on the first post or something? Just brainstorming here

How can I make python itself create a new variable?

ex. every time I press ‘x’, it automatically creates a new var like x, x1, x2, x3 etc. and I don't have to manually type
x=1
x1=1
x2=1
etc.

Thanks!

my_list = [1, 2, 3]

my_list.append(4)

Values = {}
for i in range(0, 10): #The 10 is an example, you can use the amount of variables that you want
   Values["x"+ str(i)] = "Value" #The "x" + str(i) adds them up, so if i = 2, it will make a key named x2
#To access your dictionary's keys, you can do this:
Values[x2] #This is an example
#To view everything, type this in:
Values
#To add a value, do this:
Values["KeyName"] = "Value"
