Which IDE is recommended?

[Franz Steinhaeusler]

I saw this message and downloaded DrPython. It's very good:

Hello Daniel,

thank you,

I like the
class/functions browser while I'm coding... but I can't find the
autocompletion feature you talk, and I think this feature is very
important. Where it is?

Daniel

For clarification:

1) There is the "normal" Autocomplete: It looks for already available
Words in the text file, and suggest possible completition. Edit => Find
and complete.

2) A plugin: Abbreviations: You can edit a list of words with
abbreviation keys (like in SciTE).

3) I think, you meant "Code Completition":
for example you type: os. and with the "." os.chmod, os.chdir, ...
appear in a completition list box.
You have to download it or install via plugin manager this plugin.
Best overview, you get if you choose "Show ALL Project Files" in the
ProjectrPython: Summary.
Or you look at the homepage: http://drpython.sourceforge.net/
and select Plugins.

HTH,

BTW: If it doesn't seem to work: Make sure, to enable it
in Options=>Enable Autocompletition.
You can also select under Plugin Preferences "Code Completition Enabled
by default".

For other questions, you are welcome to ask in the tracker or
Public Forums.

Also take a look at Stani's Python Editor http://spe.pycs.net

Hi. You were right: I meant "Code Completition". I did what you told me
to do. I get now auto completition of code.
For example:

import wx
wx.(here appear a list with the possibilities)

But.... (there's always a "but") with:

button = wx.Button(...)

when I write "button." there's a flick of the list of the possible
parameters, resulting in no showing it. Is there a way to correct it?

I'm a fan of PSPad. It's free, light weight, and works with

everything.

I want to second that. For small scripts PSPad is definitely very
useful and comfortable.

For larger scripts I'd consider something with code-completion. Maybe
PyDev.


best regards
Steffen

Did you try: Menu View => "Toggle Source Browser"?

Hi,

I personally don't use it.

Hm, because of drpython is "weak" typed, that is not so easy.
It would require an "extra" parsing of the current document.

Anyway this could be a feature request and I put it into
sf tracker.

Stani's Python Editor and Boa Constructor doesn't (seem) support this
too.

Try one of these:
- Hit F8
- Menu View/Toggle Source Browser
