I'm reposting this from winpython group on request from Jed. Surely this is more appropriate for this kind of query. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi all, i've been working for large shops, mainly using Java with eclipse, so choosing pydev for python development was a natural consequence.
I currently work on projects using python 2.7 and 3.3 both 32 and 64 bit (i have installed your wonderful winpython releases), i'm using local sites and a bunch of chained virtualenv's (using virtualenv_path_extensions.pth to build inherit hierarchies) and i can easily maintain all this mess from a single pydev cockpit using different interpreter definitions and assigning the right interpreter to each project. But as you know eclipse is sometimes a sort of overkill when you only need to develop and maintain python projects and i would prefer a pure python implementation for the ide. I'm examining alternatives and spyder looked very promising until i stumbled on issue 1402<http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=1402>and issue 1415 <http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=1415>. In the former you say that you won't develop develop further the virtualenv support and that you won't support projects using different python environments and the only way to support different environments is to install spyder in each of them. The latter seems to keep still some doors opened. Given this premise i'm asking if what you affirm in the first issue is the definitive roadmap for spyder development, because in this case i think for me it is a dead end road (sadly, i have to say, because apart from this it gives me a very good feeling and it has some features i really do like). I'ts true that eclipse is sometime heavy but, if i didn't misunderstand your words, in my case i'd have to substitute a single point of control with 10, 12 different spyder installations, to configure, maintain, update... and this is really a no go condition for me.
