Thanks Daniel,

Choosing tools before you learn a language is hard. It's often as much work to learn an IDE as it is to learn a language.

I would recommend Komodo Edit from activestate. It's a good, free editor that I have found to be excellent for both Perl and Python. It isn't the repos, but is easy to acquire and install from their website.

    I know this is a bit off topic but my problem is definitely SL6
    related.

    The collaboration I work with does a lot of work in Python so I
    feel I should have a working familiarity although I have a
    strong bias against weakly typed dynamic languages.  I can use
    as much compile time checking as I can get.

    I've been looking for an IDE with integrated editor, debugger
    and hopefully some documentation help that works with Python.  I
    do my C++, Java, html, css, javascript work in NetBeans but
    their Python support is not that great.

    I've looked at Eric4 but there are version conflicts with
    released SL6.3. I think Eclipse and Spyder are my next experiments.

    As far as I can tell there are no such IDEs in our repositories.

    Is anyone using such an environment and happy with it?

    I'd appreciate any and all comments and suggestions.

    Thanks,
    Joe
