Looking for a good Python environment

[ram.rachum]

Hey, I'm looking for a good Python environment. That is, at least an
editor and a debugger, and it should run on Windows. Does anyone have
any idea?

Pida is a nice looking IDE for Python, written in Python with GTK.
Emacs is decent, Eclipse has support, too. SciTE is a nice editor if
you are looking for something minimal (such as no debugger).

Just wrote a mini "review" of three Python code editors on my blog...

http://pyminer.blogspot.com/2007/11/...e-editors.html

I use PSPad or Notepad++ for quick editing, and Komodo Edit 4.2 for
longer sessions. Komodo Edit is the only one with code completion - a
very nice feature. You can pay $299 and get Komodo Edit, which has a
debugger.

I've only used Eclipse for Java programming, but there's a Python plug-
in called PyDev - just haven't figured out how to install it :-(

Thanks Jeff and thanks Jen. I'll take a look at these editors to see
if they're good for me.

I currently use Python Scripter as a lightweight editor for Windows.

For project work I use Eclipse, which can be installed with PyDev and
other useful plug-ins already included if you choose a suitable
distribution of Easy Eclipse (http://www.easyeclipse.org/). There is a
distribution specifically for Python development, and also one for
LAMP, which includes a number of other components which will be of use
if you are developing for the web.

Could you elaborate on "lightweigh t"
please? I find PyScripter to be a
powerful editor/debugger combination.

What functionality does Eclipse have
that PyScripter does not?

I like ERIC. You can get it at
http://www.die-offenbachs.de/eric/eric4-download.html

Or just download and install PyQt4, which includes it:

There's also a list of Python IDEs on the Python wiki:

WingIDE all the way. After trying a number of deve environments, Wing
was the first I used that actually allowed me to be productive.

They offer a free version, but it's worth getting the professional
version, too.

While we're at it, do any of these debuggers implement a good way to
debug multi-threaded Python programs?
