No more Python support in NetBeans 7.0

[Kees Bakker]

Hi,

Sad news (for me, at least), in the upcoming version 7.0 of NetBeans
there will be no Python plugin anymore.

I have been using NetBeans for Python development for a while now
and I was very happy with it.

See this archive for details:

That's one of the reasons why I like Python :-)

Still too many people don't know that you must set a TAB to 8 in
your editor. Anything other than 8 for a TAB will, at some point,
confuse somebody.

Don't confuse indentation with TAB setting.

Many editors are not helpfull either. Pydev, for example, has a setting
for TAB, but it is used for indentation. It is just luck (I think) that
pydev has an option to say that you only want spaces. (Take a look at
the main preferences of Pydev.)

So far, I have seen only one editor that understands the difference between
TABs and indentation, and that is Emacs.

You should feel lucky that it didn't work :-) If you would have used
newline = line.rstrip('0:00:00\n')
you would not have found the problem, nor the solution.
