Message: [QUOTE="Jeff Schwab, post: 3487695"] Sort of. Modern editors generally have support for building and running your program directly from a toolbar button or textual command. I personally use Vim with the toolbar disabled, running in a Terminal, and run the program by first putting Vim in the background (^z). People writing code specific to Mac, but not necessarily all in Python, often use XCode.

[URL]http://macromates.com/[/URL] I believe Grant was suggesting that Emacs often serves a similar purpose on Unix to what Visual Studio does on Windows, which seemed to be what you were asking. When asking about Mac OS X here, you are likely to get a lot of generic Unix responses. (Would it have been clearer if he had just said "emacs?") [/QUOTE]
