IDE for Python

[dont bother]

Hi Guys:
Is there any good IDE for Python. I checked on
www.python.org and found some. Installed bluefish but
to my surprise its just an editor. I guess it cannot
even compile my code in python or maybe I am wrong.
Any ideas/recommendations for a free IDE for Python
Thanks
Dont

Take a look at www.activestate.com for their products.
Some are free, some are charge items.

Also take a look at:

Why an IDE? Python is - IMO - (one of) THE languages, where
a good editor (tabs2spaces, comment blocks, select encoding,
syntax highlighting, auto-indentation, scriptable ...) is all
you really need.

(Bluefish ain't the editor of your choice here; write your own
from scrap or write one using Scintilla; resp. use SciTE with
a good customization file; or go for (X)Emacs resp. Vim.)

HTH, Nuff.

Why? If you are into Qt, it might be a good choice (but if you
are not, eric3 is a little bit *too* Qt-centric, IMHO). There
are a lot of solutions for special Python/GUI combinations, but
none of them seems to be the *editor of your choice* if you are
not yet restricted to one GUI solution.

Nuff.

emacs + python-mode + (ECB / speedbar/ whatever you like) is a perfect
solution - <troll>as usual, should I say</troll>

I personally like the debugging capabilities of a good IDE, specifically the
ability to watch a variable as you step through it. I know you can perform
the same thing through debugging statements but it's not as slick.

The IDE of my choice for debugging purpose is Komodo from Activestate. For
writing the scripts, I tend to like Glimmer, although most modern editors
have some type of scripting language hightlighting scheme.
