The ActiveGrid IDE is a sample app with wxPython. It has a lot of good features including a source code debugger that allows you to debug wx apps and set breakpoints from the code editor.

If you intend to use Python for Matlab-like calculations with numerical arrays and plotting with Matplotlib, then ipython is the right choice-- it has a special 'pylab' mode that is Matplotlib-aware, allowing you to make plots interactively (as well as various other useful features).

Here's been my experience: * Don't underestimate IDLE, it's surprisingly capable considering it's just a dinky little thing * PyDev isn't yet mature enough to make it practical for me * SPE has great features, but the pure-Python-ness makes it slow! Even just typing at a steady pace is slowed down due to all the name lookups. Plus, I still haven't found a way to reset the built-in Python shell, so if you run/import your module into it, you have to reload the entire app to reuse the shell. del doesn't help because the classes will still be in the registry * WingIDE is the most advanced by far, but isn't free. Its built-in Python shell also suffers from not easily being able to test _the module you're writing_ without a bunch of path switching. I remember the interface feeling slow on Windows, but on Linux everything is snappy. The quickness of the autocompletion for even seperate module members amazes me * If you're running KDE, KDevelop is very capable. The autocompletion is very generic though, it'll happily complete any word you've typed before. The auto-indentation isn't nearly as spot-on as WingIDE's * I hate PythonWin or whatever it's called.

Jeff Boa is not a dead project if that's your concern, maybe it's not getting a lot of attention, but the cvs is getting some decent activity, 0.4.x was recently released, and I've seen some bug reports being fixed in cvs quite fast too. It's really a great product if you can live with its poor documentation and its constraint-oriented design (as opposed to sizer oriented) yes I know it supports sizers, but it wasn't designed for it, and you'll probably end up manually coding the sizers because the built-in support is really weird. anyway, I consider boa the best rad tool for wxpython, it could be better.. but it's still the best of its kind imho. regards, Alex Verstraeten. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

What other good features does Eclipse have right now (that are useful for Python programming, but not necessarily specific to that)? Obviously Eclipse looks good in the future, but I wonder what it's like right now. I'm more interested in features than bugs, since I'm sure the following experience isn't typical, but: I did try it not long ago, and the commercial distribution I tried (I forget the name, but it had added Python support) hung after a few minutes of use, and completion didn't work.

For me, the code completion feature. Also, modern anti-aliased font rendering under Linux doesn't hurt. Emacs python-mode is still ahead on code formatting. For example, the way you can line up code by hitting tab once anywhere on the line. And I miss emacs things like M-^ (delete-indentation; joins the line to the previous line and removes whitespace). Eclipse has an emacs keybinding mode, but it's not very comprehensive. I'm not ready to switch, but I played around enough to know I could get fairly comfortable if I wanted to. I exaggerated memory usage a bit. Eclipse only uses about twice as much RAM as XEmacs on my Linux box. Still, I probably wouldn't find it as usable if this wasn't an AMD64 3200 with 1G RAM.

Edit => Find and complete. 2) A plugin: Abbreviations: You can edit a list of words with abbreviation keys (like in SciTE). 3) I think, you meant "Code Completition": for example you type: os. and with the "." os.chmod, os.chdir, ... appear in a completition list box. You have to download it or install via plugin manager this plugin. Best overview, you get if you choose "Show ALL Project Files" in the Project:DrPython: Summary. Or you look at the homepage: http://drpython.sourceforge.net/ and select Plugins.

BTW: If it doesn't seem to work: Make sure, to enable it in Options=>Enable Autocompletition. You can also select under Plugin Preferences "Code Completition Enabled by default".

Re: Which IDE is recommended?
Hi. You were right: I meant "Code Completition". I did what you told me to do. I get now auto completition of code. For example: import wx wx.(here appear a list with the possibilities) But (there's always a "but") with: button = wx.Button(...) when I write "button." there's a flick of the list of the possible parameters, resulting in no showing it. Is there a way to correct it? Daniel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

For larger scripts I'd consider something with code-completion. Maybe PyDev. best regards Steffen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
