Great. Thanks Marc, Steven and Alan for the enlightening answers. I will certainly take your advice into account.
I work in many different computers and while I do most of my coding (sounds as if I did a lot of coding, but I don't) on my desktop computer at home I wanted to start doing it on my laptop and on another old and way less powerful desktop computer at work. I think I'll keep Eclipse on my main computer (there's a learning curve, definitely, but I think it is a good time investment) but I'll use a setup like the one Steve (and most seasoned programmers I know) suggests for the other computers. One question for Steve (or for whoever wants to answer): you say you have a terminal with two tabs (neat, I wonder whether I can get these terminals in OS X) and when you need to do debugging you turn to your interactive python terminal and do; import filename # first time only reload(filename) # all subsequent times If I do with a "normal" python file, I get the error: "ImportError: No module named py" if I enter the file name with the py extension. If I just enter the file name without the extension, everything seems to work fine and I don't get any error message but then when I call a variable I get a message saying "'X' is not defined".
