Which IDE is recommended?

Read through python site for programming tool, really plenty of choices :-)
(For c++, I just can't breath with very very limited choices)

Tried Spe, it come with wxGlade built-in very nice(is Spe still actively
develop?). But seem that Boa Constructor and PyDev(the plug-in for Eclipse)
also worth looking. Actually which one are you guys using? and why? I think
it is also valuable for those who are new to python as me.

What about eric? (btw afaik it is not listed among the python.org
editors, or have i overlooked it)? I have installed it today only, so do
not kill me if it's crap, i am just asking ;-) however it looks
promising... (at least after IDLE)

I have been using PyDev for some time, but i think it is not always very
handsome (e.g. writing a 5-line script in vim needs less time than
eclipse startup ;-) otoh, for 5line scripts i am using vim anyway...

Good, it seem a very capable ide. But it require qt and for linux only?
(can't find the system requirement)

Yes, eclipse really eat my ram out....

Sorry about the empty post.

I'm a fan of PSPad. It's free, light weight, and works with
everything.

Hello,

I think, it is.
But SciTE is also nice (you can start Python Programs with F5, IIRC, and
you see the output of your program).

But seem that Boa Constructor and PyDev(the plug-in for Eclipse)
also worth looking. Actually which one are you guys using? and why? I think
it is also valuable for those who are new to python as me.


But I personally recommend DrPython. (Not only, I'm a member of the
project).

It is very customizable (Keyboard Shortcuts, customizable right-mouse
popup menu, Syntax Check, you can define your own scripts or macros and
you can extend it with plugins, as there are several available).

(Find/Replace in Files, Sessions, Code Completition, Document List,
Position Marker, Autocomplete, Incremental Search, Abbreviations

You can open several Python prompts in the editor and start your
currently typed program and view the output.
It is written in wxPython, open source and under development.

I use it for all my Python typing and development.

The ActiveGrid IDE is a sample app with wxPython. It has a lot of good
features including a source code debugger that allows you to debug wx
apps and set breakpoints from the code editor. I am also biased
though--I work on that IDE and use it for all my coding. Its pretty far
along on Windows and getting better on Linux. We just got it working on
a Mac yesterday so that version won't be out for a bit.

Is Boa actively used? There doesn't seem to be much activity its mailing list.
The tutorial fails for me using python 2.3.5, wxpython 2.5.3.2 and Boa 0.4.0
under debian sid.

If you intend to use Python for Matlab-like calculations with
numerical arrays and plotting with Matplotlib, then ipython is the
right choice-- it has a special 'pylab' mode that is Matplotlib-aware,
allowing you to make plots interactively (as well as various other
useful features).

I've been contemplating what the recommended usage of a "top of page" link should be? Should there only ever be one at the bottom of the page? Should they be sprinkled at various points on the page?

It seems I never use the...
