Many schools use Wing 101 (a cut-down version specifically designed for
teaching intro classes), which is free - I'm very fond of it.
Thanks,

I am a big fan of Wingide ( https://wingware.com/ )-- yes is
commercial but the wing development team, in my experience, is very
reasonable and responsive and they provide a free version which may be
all that a lot of people need. It is cross-platform. And if you end up
doing serious python work the professional version pays for it self
very quickly.

*Subject:* [Discuss] Deciding on which IDE I like better
I finally taught a full week course with PyCharm. There were things I
liked and things I didn't like. It seems the other main contender is
Spyder.
What I *want* is RStudio for python. RStudio is very well thought out
for providing the necessary functionality for beginning users (easy /
obvious R-markdown, git, unit test integration).
I've started an issue here on "the best IDE" for what will be the
Berkeley Common Environment (BCE) editor:
https://github.com/dlab-berkeley/collaboratool/issues/82
If anyone would like to chime in on this, I'd be most grateful!
[Note - we already ship requirements for the IPython notebook, so
that's out of scope.]
It's a medium term goal to interface with the Ubuntu Science folks
around our choices for BCE and come up with a shared set of practices
/ packages for an Ubuntu "science" VM. Ideally, that will be of use to
Software Carpentry as well!
