Hi Hailei,
How are you?

I am learning about python arts possibilities ... I don't have a good knowledge about programing languages, but I liked the python.
This code can Run in a IDE like PyCharm? Can you advise an interesting IDE for a beginner?

Do you know How Can I import vector images (ai or eps, svg) and mix that in a different dimensions, positions and rotations (aleatory)?

Thank you!!!

Danilo

Hi.

I am not Hailei, but I am a random person who is also learning python. If you want my two cents, here's my input:

While not an IDE, my favorite text editor (which can act as an IDE if you want it to) is Atom. It's fully customizable. You can make it look and behave any way you want, but if you don't want to bother with all of that, it comes out of the box usable and beautiful.

As for you vector images question, I have no experience in this area. Sorry.
