Personally, I find that Linux and the standard tool chain it provides is an IDE, no need for a dedicated IDE application. http://blog.sanctum.geek.nz/series/unix-as-ide/ My IDE of choice is KDE's kate text editor, plus a terminal app that supports multiple tabs. I run at least one Python interactive interpreter in one tab, for testing code snippets, calling interactive help, etc., and other tabs for controlling my source repository (mercurial), running scripts, etc. Oh, and a browser for searching the web. I prefer DDG: http://duckduckgo.com/ which has dedicated Python support. -- Steven ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

A very interesting and customizable IDE for Linux is the Spyder project. http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/ It was previously known as Pydee and has lot's of features that I, as a beginner, find good, like the calltips, function browser, console, online help... and so on!

You can use basic tools like vim, emacs and terminal windows etc. To cut n paste between them is trivial (Much more so than in Windows or MacOS). Tools like diff, grep and ctags enable cross file navigation between functions etc and are fully integrated with the common editors. Unix was built for software development by software developers. There is little that a modern IDE can do that Unix tools can't do almost as easily (tooltips is about the only thing I'm aware of!) And there's lots that Unix can do that most IDEs struggle with. I'd appreciate any feedback on this and good tutorials or books on Python 3 and the IDEs suggested. There are many available and I'm wondering what you as users find effective. But if you must have an IDE the usual suspects are available: Netbeans, Eclipse, Wing, SPE, and many others... ...and of course IDLE which comes with Python. Personally I go with vim, and 2 terminal windows. One running a prompt and one to execute the program for testing.-- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
