Best Editor

[JAG CHAN]

Friends, I am trying to learn Python.
It will be of great help to me if you let me know which one would be best
editor for learning Python.
Plese note that I would like to have multiplatform editor which will be
useful for both LInux and Windows XP.
Thanks.

I personally use Eclipse with PyDev. It is a cross-platform solution
because Eclipse is made with Java.

Start with IDLE, which will likely be available everywhere you
use Python. The full instructions for using IDLE take up about
two pages of text, which means it's lightweight, and it comes
preconfigured with good Python integration.

Learning a highly portable, industrial-strength program like Vim
or emacs is something I highly recommend, but it's not
necessarily a productive thing to do that at the same time you're
learning Python.

Thanks friends.
As you say, as a beginner will start with IDLE.

Wow I like the sound of "Learning a highly portable,
industrial-strength program like Vim or emacs is something I highly
recommend". I use Aquamacs (it's emacs with Mac OS-X Interface) and
emacs on other platform. It works great for me.

some wxPy IDEs maybe better.

I recommend Scribes on Linux. It's simple, fast and powerful.

My choice is SPE. It has wxGlade built-in for easy creation of
wxPython GUIs, syntax error highlighting, etc. It's cross-platform
too. It does require installing wxPython, though that's not difficult.
