Python IDE

-----------------------------------

I'm looking for GUI-ified IDE for python.  I am thinking along the lines of JEdit.  Any other recommendable options?

scite is your best bet:

syntax highlighting, auto-indentation, code popups, compile and interpreter buttons

JEdit or Jext are good... just keep a terminal window open to run your programs, not that difficult compared to pressing a 'run' button. :P

or u can use the JConsole (or whatever it's called) plugin ;)

There's also an eclipse plugin for python..

vim.
I would like to do as little preliminary work as possible before actually coding.  Vim is out of the question.  Sorry Martin.   :vi:

Pick your text editor of choice and a terminal window.  That is the best Python development environment.

I must say, objectively speaking, I find Komodo more comfortable than SPE. But that's just me. They're both very good.

Of course, as wtd says, there's a 99% chance that you don't need an IDE and a simple text editor will suffice.

Don't count vim out. Take a look at Cream, its a configuration for vim that has auto indentation and syntax highlighting built in, and lets you type right after opening the window :)

The Python interactive interpreter is one of the best documentation tools around.  Get used to accessing doc-strings.
