I can't offer any Python in BBEdit tips. I use PyCharm for most Python stuff. Debug and run code in PyCharm, support for virtual environments, package management, code completion, integrated documentation, interactive shell, and lots more. I recommend it to all Python newbs.
There's also pydev as an Eclipse plugin, but it's not as nice as PyCharm. --steve On Mar 12, 2014 2:41 PM, "Brian Christiansen" <[email protected]> wrote: > Françios, Steve, > > Thanks for your replies.
