Are there any plans for developing a standard IDE for python that's included with the python installation? I found information about other IDE's elsewhere online, but couldn't even find any mention of this possibility.
I'm still relatively new to Python--I switched over from VB--and I found it difficult to learn python without an IDE. Most experienced programmers I know started out using Emacs or another text editor, and are very happy with that; however, I found it difficult to put all the pieces (like GUI, etc.) together myself. i tried many of the free IDEs, but was dissatisfied (VS is tough to beat in my opinion, much better than the average m$ application *plz don't flame*). although it'd be a difficult undertaking, i think an IDE would be a tremendous boost for python in terms of gaining support in education and the business community. has anyone else discussed this? does anyone know the BDFL's stance? thanks. ~mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
