Does anyone know any tutorial or video explaining how to set up a
proper python ide in emacs? Any init files/tips/tricks would be
greatly appreciated too. Thanks in advance!

My suggestion is not to use Emacs for Python. The best simple
experience is with Idle.

python -m pudb [[whatever.py]] is my goto. I think pudb is ...
godzilla :)  Only thing better I know is CIDER, but that's not for
Python.

>pudb

damn that looks cool. does it integrate with emacs or is it a
standalone tool?

standalone in the terminal. best debugger in the industry, imo. all
the functionality of PyCharm but no mouse EVER.

Yeah, I use pudb extensively. It's my go-to debugger for python code.

Tip: If you add `export PYTHONBREAKPOINT="pudb.set_trace"` to your
`.bashrc` file (or the configuration file for whatever shell you use),
then if you add `breakpoint()` to your Python code it will stop in
pudb.
