Python editor/IDE on Linux?

[Ben Finney]

I'll let you in on a little secret. We all use Emacs. Those who
claim to use vim are just trying to prevent you from ever becoming a
successful Python programmer, and therefore reduce competition.

I use Emacs, with Vim emulation, running with WordStar keybindings, on
a Dvorak keymapping. It took me seven years to learn how to use it,
but it was worth it. Keeps the pesky workmates from using my computer.

Except for real programmers...

Who instead use emacs ;-)

 

[Jack]

That's a good one. I got to find out what's special with Emacs

I wonder what everybody uses for Python editor/IDE on Linux?
I use PyScripter on Windows, which is very good. Not sure if
there's something handy like that on Linux. I need to do some
development work on Linux and the distro I am using is Xubuntu.

When the Linux distros wanted an editor, they did not choose Emacs or
emaacs vi mode.
They chose vim.

Vim users:

Notepad user:
G.W. Bush.

See, it's clear!

Why not IDLE?

Why not IDLE?

Because idle means no progress. Better use VI[M].

"Emacs makes a good OS, but a lousy editor."

Yep. Emacs comes with a lot of those funny phrases. It is so good that
it even helps people using other editors to have some fun. ;-)

I use spe - it is in universe.

Has some rough edges, but in general I like it enough to recommend it.

Try Scribes:

Flash Demo: http://scribes.sf.net/demo.htm

It's writing in Python and can extended with Python plugins.

Has anyone any experience with Python in Kate or Kdevelop? I program
PHP and HTML in Kate and C in Kdevelop.

In Linux I just use Gedit. In windows I settle for Notepad2. With
python having help built into the interpreter, anything more than line
numbering, simple syntax highlighting, and auto-indent when you hit
enter just doesn't seem necessary. Vim has b and c, but not a.

Using Kate for Python would probably be very similar to using Gedit
(from my limited experience with Kate).

 

[Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch]

I'm using Kate/KWrite quite often. Syntax highlighting and an auto
indention for Python are standard features. The only "extra" I'm using is
the word completion plug-in to spare myself too much typing and limit
typing errors in long names.

Along with the editor there's always a terminal with IPython running to
test and explore my own code and libraries.

I'm not sure of what you are numbering, but vim does have:
* Line numbering.
* Syntax highlighting.
* Auto-indenting.

a:
<esc>:set nu
<esc>:set nonu

didn't know that one. Perhaps I'll look into Gvim (I still like to cut
and paste with the mouse, even if I left that off my list).

In gvim you can use a mouse-1-drag to select text then mouse-2 at the
position you want to copy the text to.

I use PyScripter on Windows, which is very good.

I'm using WingWare's WingIDE. Visual debugger, python-scriptable,
projects, code-completion that is second-to-none (I LOVE it.). And a very
responsive support team. Yes, it's commercial, but it's cheaper than
Komodo, and works a lot better for Python.

Plus, it's written in Python, so the developers eat their own dog food.
During the development cycle for 3.0 (it's at Alpha 1 right now*), all they
used to development was the active code base.

*I'm using 3.0a1 right now for my development work, and have not had a
single crash or glitch. It's good stuff.
