Can Emacs really be configured and turned into the best python editor/IDE?

Can Emacs really be configured and turned into the best python editor/IDE?

[Hongyi Zhao]

Sorry for my stupid and maybe also cliché question. I've read the
article here [1] for several times, and I've never really tried and
verified most of the configuration covered in it until today.
According to my experience, Emacs is indeed very good for Python
development, but this doesn't guarantee that it's the best Python
editor/IDE. Specifically, there are still many functions in the real
IDE, e.g., PyCharm [2], that do not exist in Emacs.

Any hints/comments/corrections will be greatly appreciated.

Outside of the extremes (Notepad, ed) your editor is never what's standing
between you and efficacy in any environment.

Maybe it would be better to ask specific questions about specific missing
features that you'd like to have rather than asking in generic superlative
terms. :)

Say, the versatile, dazzling debugger features described here [1].

Another example, the "Stack Data" shown by Wing IDE, as presented in attachment.

It is just programming, anything anyone else can do so can we
by definition ... and it didn't take me very long either.
