Python IDE

[Mr. T]

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

vim.

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.

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

There's also an eclipse plugin for python..

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

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.

I was using it for a bit and it crashed every 5 minutes.
