http://blog.sanctum.geek.nz/series/unix-as-ide/ My preferred development environment is: * kate text editor (although I'm trying out geany and so far I like what I see); * a decent console app that supports multiple tabs; * a browser for googling stuff; * and optionally, a file manager window, preferably Konqueror (but KDE 3 only), but I don't even usually bother with that. I tend to have at least one console tab open for running shell commands like grep, version control, etc; another tab open for running my app; at least one tab open for a Python interactive interpreter for trying out code snippets and reading help(); and another tab for running tests. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
