Bruce: As you could have seen from the link that sent Massimo (rad2py, ide2py, psp2py, etc.), I'm finishing a fully-featured IDE, including coding completion, local and remote debugger, integrated shell, etc. The web2py dedication is complete, currently the tool can be attached to a web2py server (using admin-like webservices), browse and edit files, debug, etc. Code completion currently is static (similar to what you will find in eclipse or other IDEs), but shortly it will be dynamically generated, so you would be able to explore database tables and fields live as you write, evaluate dal expressions on the fly, etc.
The tools also includes quality assurance and project management features (defect & time tracking, estimation, performance reports, etc.) I hope to release a stable version very soon, you can see the poster I'll be presenting at PyCon about this for further information: https://us.pycon.org/2012/schedule/presentation/147/ About a better view editor, it is in my plans to add a custom style to the editor to correctly highlight the html code, check for errors, etc. Also, In the long time I would like to implement a visual database designer, query-by-example, etc BTW, a visual DAL designer already exists (web accesible from the admin) IIRC PS: the admin-like web services would enable to build third-party plugins for your favourite IDE Best regards Mariano Reingart http://www.sistemasagiles.com.ar http://reingart.blogspot.com On Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 5:41 AM, Bruce Wade <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank's for the link Massimo. > > Bruno, I guess every developer is different.
