Thanks everybody for your responses. . . good stuff, I've been checking
out your recommendations.
 
Er, yeah I'm using winXP (and Outlook too. . . honestly I'm kewler in
person, I promise.) When my current Toshiba laptop dies I'll probably
move to OSX, since I'll prolly be buying an osx machine for some music
recording projects. 
 
Is there an IDLE development page somewhere that I'm missing? I still
can't get over the python.org page being dated March 2000. Wasn't that
in the days of like. . . fortran or something?  :o)

Subject: [pygame] recommendation for a good n00b IDE






Hey folks, how goes it? I'm new to python and pygame. I have a question
for you regarding IDEs. 

I have been using IDLE so far, what came with python 2.5, and I like its
simple stripped down approach. However I am getting a bit frustrated
with what seems to be a bug with the 'Run Module' feature where you can
run your code by just hitting the F5 key within the editor. This feature
seems to crash a lot. I applied the 'IDLE hangs up' fix from pygame.org,
but still getting some crashes and freezes.

It seems like IDLE hasn't been in development for quite a while? The
documentation page on python.org is something like. . . 8 *years* old.

So. . . . any recommendations for a good n00b IDE? I really like IDLE's
stripped down no-frills approach. Also, I need to be able to set a
white-on-black color scheme. . . much easier on the eyes.


thanks!
