Friends:
Now , with turbogears, I am using a text editor as an ide. Before
starting my first turbogear project, I was planning on moving to the
eric3 ide for my python coding.
1)Are any of you using an ide for your turbogears projects, and how is it
going?
2)Many of us struggle with project management, especially many of us whose
primary coding skills come for college courses, where it is not
emphasized. This becomes more confusing when an ide or app. has its own,
or an esoteric project management system. Between eggs and this fact, I
would not have tried turbogears if it didn't utilize so many apps that I
know to be really good. I am now happy that I did largely because
turbogears rolls things for me without stealing control.
Maybe documenting the use of an ide's project management system with
turb ogears would lower its barrier of entry, or documenting how to
set up a project with just a text editor would be better?
I ask this because I hope to be able to contibute to the wiki, and
would like to document tools/methods useful to the community while I
improve in their usage.

Hi Will,
I'm using Scite currently for most of my python development, but after
watching the 20 Minutes Wiki video I fell in love with Textmate. In
fact, it looks *a lot* like Scite with a file browser, so I decided to
create a file browser that could be attached to Scite, maybe name it
"SciteMate", who knows... I'm reading a lot of documents (the ones
describing the interface to Scite, and such), and I think it would be
easy to implement. More news on this when I have something useable.
About Eric3: it's a great IDE, but I don't use it because it has a few
shortcomings (at least under Windows): it's too slow (Scintilla, the
editor component crawls some times), doesn' draw very well, doesn't
complete from the symbols defined in the current file, and the debugger
is... well, let's say that "intuitive" isn't the definition for some of
it's features.
Python doesn't need a lot to get started, and really there's little need
for something like a 'project' manager in an script language, as you
don't need to compile and link the resulting files. So my best
recomendation would be Scite + good configuration + some debugger (if
under windows, winpdb is a nice option).
