I've never ever used an IDE with Python. With Python I can code for an hour in vim and it runs with only maybe one minor syntax error. Often the code runs first try, and runs correctly. Having a reference to the python standard library is about the only thing I need. I typically use python in a nutshell (dead tree) or just a browser page open to the official docs. Fortunately Python's use of namespaces and allowing the use of singleton objects (we call them modules!) eliminates must of the verbose rubbish that Java's libraries have. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
