Given that I'm Mr. wxPython I'm sometimes a bit embarrassed to admit
that I've been using WingIDE more and more lately (transitioning from
Emacs) instead of one of the wx-based editors. Almost every day I cuss
at it for being so butt ugly on Mac and not being native, but I still
keep on using it because I haven't yet found anything that comes close
to beating it on features and functionality. The auto-complete is very
thorough and useful,
I don't remember auto-completion being on your list of features for a
"pry-emacs-from-my-hands" list...
It would be nice though -- Rob, any plans to add that to Peppy?
the debugger is excellent,
Have you tried winPDB? It has some layout issues on the Mac, but it's
worked for me.
Rob, have you given thought to integrating winPDB into Peppy? that would
be nice.
P.S. If anybody can convince Wingware to sponsor a wx port
I do wonder why they chose GTK in the first place, but what can you do?

Interesting -- that one's not on the wiki (perhaps you would add it?).
I'll give it a try. Out of curiosity, what are the key features in your
view?
- Multiple top-level windows (Frames, in wx parlance)
- being able to have the same file open in multiple windows
- extensible in python (though I never seem to have the time to make
use of that!)
- customizable major/minor modes for different kinds of files.
- Windows, Mac, Linux
- Not just a python editor.
I guess the key thing about Peppy for me is that every other wxPython
editor I tried was missing not just a key feature or two, but it's
architecture seemed to make it virtually impossible to add the feature.
Peppy is lacking in maturity, but it's architecture is quite flexible.
By the way, I've written a setup.py, etc, so that you can get an py2app
bundle of Peppy (in alias mode), which is critical to making it act like
a Mac app -- putting in in the doc, drag&dropping files on it, etc.
I think it's in Peppy SVN, but if not, ask me...
And yes, you'll need a new wxPython.
