Warning: SubEthaEdit does not enforce a line ending convention. That's probably OK for Python source code, but can be a headache in other contexts. Example: set SubEthaEdit to enter \n when you type <return> (the unix line ending convention). Then paste in text from any standard Mac app and notice that the pasted text uses \r as a line ending. SubEthaEdit is the only text editor I've seen that has this bizarre behavior and I stopped using it because of that (it was causing mysterious failures when checking in svn comments, which is how I stumbled across the problem). I recommend TextWrangler as a "must-have" free editor, though I hate the find/replace dialog box enough to not use it for coding. TextMate looks promising but is not yet polished. Pepper is superb but no longer supported. XCode takes forever to launch. -- Russell _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
