Françios, Steve, Thanks for your replies. When you reference "Dash", you're referring to http://kapeli.com/dash the Mac app for documentation?
When I talk about "tips for Python in BBEdit", I presume everyone on this list "likes how BBEdit works" (as do I) or we wouldn't be here and we would be using a different editor. I was hoping for perhaps, "Hey, I make my living writing Python web apps, and here are some things I've gravitated to within the app, [or] here are a couple of extras I use (and why)…" Speaking of Sublime, if you Google "using Sublime Text for python" you'll get a post like [Setting up Sublime Text for Python development](http://dbader.org/blog/setting-up-sublime-text-for-python-development). *Granted*, Sublime works differently, has a package manager, etc., so that's a little more applicable for ST (and ST is extensible *with* Python, which likely attracts Python users to begin with). But this is along the lines of what I was hoping for. > Seems to be a lot of hype and noise around SublimeText. I spend most of my time in BBEdit with web front-end code. I'm the only professional I know who uses BBEdit. Of the other web coders (front & backend) I know, ST2 is easily the most popular, most of the ST users are TextMate 1 refugees, and rave about ST. The rest include PHPStorm, and Vim (these Vim guys are Rubyists). A few, like me, open up Coda 2 occasionally (It's the most visually pleasing editor I've used, strong in several areas, but weaker in general than BBEdit). The guy next to me uses Eclipse all day (don't ask, I don't know why). I've installed BBEdit on his Mac and he occasionally uses it. :-) I mention this because I've finally joined this list because I can't get help and tips from my peers or find much on the web.
