There are a ton of IDEs for Python including the generic ones like VS, Eclipse and Netbeans. But... I've tried many of these and find I keep coming back to the simpler 3-window approach to Python development: - A code editor(multi-tabbed), - an open interpreter session and - an OS prompt for running/testing the program.
I always find that faster and more effective than a complex IDE. I'm not against IDEs in general and for C++ and Java I find an IDE more or less essential. But the immediacy and simplicity of Python with its interpreter is very hard to beat. (It's the closest thing I've found to the Smalltalk workspace for productive programming) > I find that strange. It seems so until you try it. IDEs and Python just don't work that well for many people. (Of course there are also many folks who do like them and use them, but compared to other languages they are less used, because they offer less benefit.) -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
