Not to get into the classic emacs/vi/etc. argument, but from my experience emacs has never been a good learning investment. For an editor (on Linux) I just use Kate or Gedit, which have syntax highlighting. For debugging, I use the print statement, because I haven't found an interactive debugger that I like. I did try Eclipse's "PyDev" module. It was OK, but I found Eclipse to have so much screen clutter and so-so responsiveness, so I decided to not keep on using it. KDevelop now has support for Python coding, but no Python debugger yet. It also doesn't support tab completions for Python (that I'm aware of). So for now, I've found just a plain old text editor, plus print statements, to be the right choice for me. -- Christian Convey Computer Scientist, Naval Undersea Warfare Centers Newport, RI (401) 832-6824 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
