Of the basic editors I favour Pythonwin and AlaMode The former comes with the windows extensions (standard in the activepython distro) and the latter with wxpython. ALaMode is my current favourite because it has the wonderful PyCrust shell and tabbed editing windows, features which neither IDLE nor Pythonwin can support. And the editor is the fabulous Scintilla widget used in several other IDEs, including Pythonwin. I've played with PyDev on Eclipse and I lve the debugger but the lack of a >>> prompt is a limitation and its a slow starter and quite resource hungry. However for serious programming I'm still using my original setup of vim and a couple of OS shell windows, one for running the program and one for a >>> prompt. However I increasingly substitute PyCrust nstead of the vanilla >>> prompt. vim is just too powerful an editor compared to even scintilla that I can't live without the features for long (multi hour) sessions. PS There must be a FAQ page on this somewhere? It gets asked so often...
