Python Windows Editors

I downloaded python-2.5.msi and installed it. I believe its editor is IDE. I
understand there's a Win editor called pythonwin. I believe it's in the
download pywin32-210.win32-py2.5.exe, but I'm not sure if this exe file has
just the editor or all of Python. Comments? If not how do I get the
PythonWin editor by itself?

BTW, one of the features I did not like of IDE is the limited file Print
command. It puts everything in 16pt type, and gives no choice over what
pages should be printed. Maybe there's an option?

Print your files from Notepad, after all, they're just text files.
But IDLE has more usefull Formatting options.

The pywin32 extension does not contain the python runtime itself, but
comes with many (very useful) classes you can use when interacting with
the windows universe. The editor is based on a component called
scintilla (http://www.scintilla.org/). The referenced site also offers
an editor SciTE based around the component, which comes with some nice
features and syntax files for a number of languages.

If you are going to make use of python on the windows platform, I would
highly recommend the pywin32 extension.

Regards,

Ant

Hi,

I guess you could take a look at pydev extension for eclipse and if you
wan't an almost straight forward installation, you should consider this
link :
http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/dist...ns/python.html

Laurent

I tried 2 of them, and only was stable enough: PyScripter

Thanks. Already did it, but used Word. I can get line numbers in that way.

I prefer PyScripter too, but would like to know if I can have
'indentation guides' enabled like PythonWin allows.

If you mean, typing a for-statement, then when placing the final ":"+Enter,
the indentation auto increases,
then the answer is yes,
otherwise I don't kno what you mean.

No, there's no "single official Python editor or IDE". You can edit
Python code in any editor you want. When I was on Windows, I used to use
jEdit (http://www.jedit.org/) or Vim (http://www.vim.org/), but others
will give you other advices. Any text editor is only as good as the
programmer who uses it. ;)

I've been trying to get Tix running with Python on Windows. Since there is no binary distributions of Tix for Windows, it seems the easiest way to install Tix is through IDiscovery's IDEStudio 1.9 (http://starship.python.net/crew/mike/Idle/). This went fine and I ran the "Install Tix into Python" option at the end of the installation, with the target Python installation being the Python 2.2 I just mentioned. I also ran the "Run Tix...
