The Spyder IDE comes with Anaconda.
I use it with a large, 600-student introduction to CS class.
One-click and it works for everyone.

Anaconda now links to PyCharm but it isn’t the educational version so there are 
extra steps for the students to install on their own computers.  For student 
installation we have found more issues than with Spyder or VSCode — the two 
built into Anaconda.
From my experience advanced student users such as CS majors prefer PyCharm (and 
then VSCode) over Spyder, but we have found Spyder to be the easiest for 
novices.
