If you want to try out something basic, try Rope: http://rope.sourceforge.net/ropeide.html If has fairly good syntax completion and it is good in renaming everything (variables, classes, functions). It has also syntax coloring. However, it is ugly as hell, and the usability is horrible. It has no graphical debugger. I just read that it comes with EMACS keybindings, so you'll have to edit a configuration file to set it to something sane. It should run on Windows too, since it is written in pure Python. I really used it to write a small program. It is definitely usable. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
