By IDE you mean IDLE, don't you?

 
 Print your files from Notepad, after all, they're just text files.
 But IDLE has more usefull Formatting options.
 Thanks. Already did it, but used Word. I can get line numbers in that way.

And you are absolutely certain you won't never, ever, detect a typo when
you have your script open in Word, correct it, save the file and try to
use the resulting mess as a Python script? Or does Word leave it as a text
file in such a case? I never dare to open source code in Word, so I'm not
really sure.

Yes, looking at it again, it's IDLE in my Start (Programs) menu. When I put 
it into Word, I print the document with line #s and then mark up the

Its difficult, apart from their stability (which can get better or bad
on the time, upen their evolution and the evolution of the libraries
they use), its a large part of personnal taste.

IMHO you can only have functionnal comparison of such tools. I started a
synthesis page of editors/IDEs functionnalities in the pythonfr wiki
(french) some (long) time ago...

But a Wiki form seem to not be the best way for such comparison... a
dynamic page with a database and some dynamic request would be better.

If you mean, typing a for-statement, then when placing the final :+Enter,
the indentation auto increases,
then the answer is yes,
otherwise I don't kno what you mean.

No, there's no single official Python editor or IDE. You can edit
Python code in any editor you want. When I was on Windows, I used to use
jEdit (http://www.jedit.org/) or Vim (http://www.vim.org/), but others
will give you other advices. Any text editor is only as good as the

FWIW the Zeus for Windows IDE has Python support:

   http://www.zeusedit.com/python.html

Zeus has standard IDE features like syntax highlighting,
integrated version control, project/workspace, class
browsing etc, but it does smart indenting and code
folding for Python and you can even write Zeus
macros using Python ;)

It is even possible to integrate the Python SDK help
directly into the editor:

Re: Python Windows Editors

2007-01-21 Thread Ant
The pywin32 extension does not contain the python runtime itself, but
comes with many (very useful) classes you can use when interacting with
the windows universe. The editor is based on a component called
scintilla (http://www.scintilla.org/). The referenced site also offers
an editor SciTE based around the component, which comes with some nice
features and syntax files for a number of languages.

If you are going to make use of python on the windows platform, I would
highly recommend the pywin32 extension.
