The IDE question

I'm trying to find an IDE for python that I'm comfortable with. For my
needs IDLE actually works 99% of the time, but on my current project I
need to have lots of files open at once, and I would really prefer to
have tabbed browsing. I'd even try to code this into IDLE myself but I
have no experience with Tk.

All of the IDEs I've found (google + python wiki page) are either A)
Commercial or B) Written for either an older version of python or
wxPython or C) Are syntax highlighting in eclipse and that's it.

All I'm really looking for is the equivalent of IDLE with tabbed
browsing. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi DA,

I don't know if you will find this to be helpful, but one of my favorite
IDEs is DrPython, which is free and allows you to have multiple files
open at the same time. Check it out...

I'm not sure which platform but take a look at Eric (it has projects and
tabs). Of course this only works with Linux. You might also take a look
at SPE (windows and Linux). I like Eric because of the debugger.

DrPython seems to be just what I'm looking for -- after a few bugs are
fixed and the open file window is improved. I can't open files on
computers on my local network because there's no mechanism to do that, I
can't type in my own path (doesn't respond to me typing it in and
hitting enter), and shortcuts to folders don't show up. I also managed
to find a bug that consistenly makes my system hang :P

I'm e-mailing them the bugs, but overall the best IDE I've tried so far :D

PyDev eclipse plugin currently offers much more than syntax
highlighting. It's definitely worth a look.

Much better than it was before 0.6.1. It used to be so slow as to be
completely unusable, now the speed is ok - not perfect, the response
is not instantaneous, but usable anyway.

The problem is that they wrote their own "open file" dialog, while a much
better[*] one is already available in wxPython...
[*] at least on Windows

Eric3 is an oddity - it is free on Linux but commercial on Windows. It seems
you need to buy a licence for Qt which in the UK is £250 + VAT. This is
substantially more than Komodo or WingIDE.
