I don't know what better project management or code coverage in eclipse entail, but I've posted before that if you think vim/emacs are just syntax highlighting/indenting text editors you've got them misconfigured. The beautiful thing about vim in particular is that it uses Python as an internal scripting language, so it's very easy to extend it to add whatever you want. e.g. in vim I get * Syntax checking, if I type invalid python code it gets highlighted as an error (if I type, say, if a=1: and hit return, it gets highlighted since I need an == there). * Object browser, with dropdowns showing the parent and child classes of the current class, and the ability to jump to various class methods * Normal tag-jump stuff, so I can drill down into the method/function call I'm looking at and then pop back up (keeping a stack so I can drill down arbitrarily deep to follow the flow of the code) * Interactive help, so when, say, I type foo.blah( then the status line displays the first line of the docstring/python doc/preceding comment for foo.blah. E.g. if I type cmp( then the status line shows cmp(x, y) Compare the two objects X and Y and return an integer according to ... and if I hit F1 then I get the full help text * Editor control for uncaught errors--if I code I'm debugging raises an uncaught exception, the editor jumps directly to it. Even works for web development, if I hit a page in my dev server that raises an exception, it brings my editor right there. and lots more (version control integration, easy mapping of keys to restart the webserver after I make changes, etc). And there's some internal crap (e.g. we work on lots of clients who have client-specific versions of some objects; I have a client menu so that if I pick one, then I'll jump to their client-specific version of the current file (or the base generic version if there isn't a specific one), tags will follow the right client versions, etc). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I've had a similar experience and tried about everything. Personally - eclipse with PyDev has been the winner for me. I also still do a bunch of Java coding - so there is an added benefit of one tool across languages. The final thing I really like with eclipse is the svn plugins - making life very easy. Also, if your doing web/xml and other stuff - there is a plugin for eclipse for it ;) Not all the plugins work as seemlessly together (i abandon eclipse for the majority of plone/zope stuff - most of it isn't python - and setting up eclipse to be happy with the output of archgen has not been worth the bother - I'm sure it's possible) PyLint can kind of be a pain if your on a low powered box, but tweaking the settings (and I had to do a bit of tweaking) can alleviate the problems, but still let you reap the benefits.

Re: Best IDE for Python
I'm assuming that FOS = free open source... In any case, what operating system do you run? If you're on OS X, I highly recommend TextMate. It's not free, but it has good support (either via built-in or third-party plugins) for Python as well as HTML, SQL, XML, Django templates, and the like. A lot of Rails folks use it (as well as Django and TurboGears developers, I might add). The best general-purpose IDE for Python, IMO, is WingIDE. Again, it's not free (personal license will cost you $30). It runs on each of the major platforms - Windows, Linux, OS X - and has some nice features, including code completion, syntax highlighting, a built-in Python shell, etc. I don't think it has any features built-in specifically for web dev, however; if you have to do lots of HTML, XML, and SQL as part of your project, you might want something a bit more general-purpose. If you're determined to go the FOSS route, you can always use VIM, Emacs, Eric, or SPE. Just my two cents... --dave -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I've tried the other free IDEs like IDLE, SPE, eric3, TruStudio (for Eclipse), Boa, Komodo, WingIDE. I have various issues with them, including instability, poor automatic indentation, bad GUI (too many subwindows or uncustomizable), costly, no refactoring, and no project management.

I don't know what better project management or code coverage in eclipse entail, but I've posted before that if you think vim/emacs are just syntax highlighting/indenting text editors you've got them misconfigured. The beautiful thing about vim in particular is that it uses Python as an internal scripting language, so it's very easy to extend it to add whatever you want. e.g. in vim I get * Syntax checking, if I type invalid python code it gets highlighted as an error (if I type, say, if a=1: and hit return, it gets highlighted since I need an == there). * Object browser, with dropdowns showing the parent and child classes of the current class, and the ability to jump to various class methods * Normal tag-jump stuff, so I can drill down into the method/function call I'm looking at and then pop back up (keeping a stack so I can drill down arbitrarily deep to follow the flow of the code) * Interactive help, so when, say, I type foo.blah( then the status line displays the first line of the docstring/python doc/preceding comment for foo.blah. E.g. if I type cmp( then the status line shows cmp(x, y) Compare the two objects X and Y and return an integer according to ... and if I hit F1 then I get the full help text * Editor control for uncaught errors--if I code I'm debugging raises an uncaught exception, the editor jumps directly to it. Even works for web development, if I hit a page in my dev server that raises an exception, it brings my editor right there. and lots more (version control integration, easy mapping of keys to restart the webserver after I make changes, etc). And there's some internal crap (e.g. we work on lots of clients who have client-specific versions of some objects; I have a client menu so that if I pick one, then I'll jump to their client-specific version of the current file (or the base generic version if there isn't a specific one), tags will follow the right client versions, etc). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

On a more useful note, I'll assume you're not already a vim or emacs zealot, since you are asking the question ;-) and give my tips: SPE seems to be the best (free) python IDE out there at the moment, though the text editor component is pretty basic. I personally use jEdit, since it has a superb editor component, and Python plugins which make developing in python very comfortable, such as a (cpython and jython) debugger, and a Jython plugin which allows scripting of jEdit in python (well, jython - so you'll miss a few of the newer language features when scripting jEdit itself.

I demo'd wing ide and have to say it's the best commercial offering. The only other one I'm aware of is Komodo and it really can't touch Wing. But for me, wingide was slugish. I have a 1/2 gig of memory and a pretty hefty CPU - i think its a 1.6 Pentium M [it's a company issued laptop -- so im not sure of the specs]. I found that as wing tried to autocomplete identifiers in large name spaces that it would take a second or so. This was really painful when working with wxPython. What wing does have going for it is a REALLY good auto-completion system. Yeah it's slow, but its good. You wing hints as to what objects are by using isinstance(). For example, the code below tells wing that frame is a wx.Frame - # make_frame returns a wx.Frame frame = make_frame() isinstance(frame, wx.Frame) Once wing has a hint, it'll autocomplete the methods / properties for you. But again, it is slow. As far as free software goes, I really like stani's python editor. It seems to *watch* methods that you call on an object and autocomplete based on that. For example suppose it sees this code: # make another wx.Frame frame = make_frame() frame.method1() frame.method2() ... # Below, stani will autocomplete showing you method1 and method 2. # No they aren't valid wx.Frame methods! frame.

But again, it is slow. Other IDEs, please take the hint. That should be trivial to implement once you have basic autocompletion system in place (e.g. SPE). That still leads to code clutter but it will do until someone implements a proper type inference system... Of course it should also heed the isinstance line when it's commented out. Jaime As far as free software goes, I really like stani's python Jaime editor. It seems to *watch* methods that you call on an Jaime object and autocomplete based on that. For example suppose Yeah, SPE seems to be quite a solid offering - but pydev (the Eclipse plugin) seems to be getting there really fast also. It also has a debugger that SPE lacks. -- Ville Vainio http://tinyurl.com/2prnb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
