I hate to be the one answering this, but this is *really* a FAQ - as you
would have known if you had google'd this group for this.

Hi!


Komodo (http://www.activestate.com/Products/Komodo) is great, for me.

Hi,

For a simple start:
Scite is small, good, cross platform, free and open source
and you can launch the program easy hitting F5 (run).


Of course there are more powerful editors as vim, (x)emacs,
jedit, ...

but that depends on your intentions.

.... and/or consider this page from python.org
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors
since there are many possibilities of *good editors*, and advocacy
generally stems from personal preferences ;-)

WingIDE is very good.
It gives very nice completions and has a nice thing called "source
assistant" that shows the help of the function you're standing on and
etc.
But I don't think it's open-source and freei if that bothers you

Another good one is idlespoon.
this one is open-source and freei

I have to admit that I'm testing eclipse with pydev at the moment, and
it looks realy good

I use WingIDE too. It is very convenient. Good auto-completion feature.
It is not so heavy as Komodo.
WingIDE was my the second step after Komodo.
Just try it and u'll understand how it is good.

In a windows enviroment, I am a big fan of conTEXT

http://www.context.cx/

.. Very powerful syntax highlighting for many, many languages
.. project workspace support
.. code template support
.. great file browsing and favorites support
.. good search/replace support across all open files

In a unix enviroment, i use eclipse or vim

 

[Edward K. Ream]

I like scite for small tasks, Leo for larger tasks and python scripting.
Leo's script buttons are something probably no other tool has:

gedit

I am starting out with python myself and have looked at the suggestions on this page and others and after trying a bunch of editors and IDEs I am a bit surprised that no one mentions gedit.

I began learning HTML and Latex on windows machines using wordpad so when I started using Linux boxes gedit, with syntax highlighting and spell check was a very very nice upgrade.

gedit works well with python too. I like the way it highlights syntax better than any of the others I have tried. It manges to highlight self. where none of the others do.

I like using command-line-like color schemes.

All the Linux people I know would never here of this. It is all VIM VIM VIM, Gmacs gmacs gmacs.

Vim does look slick, and by VIM I mean Cream, but it seems that just doing basic text editor stuff is a pain in the arrse.
