Question

anyone using an alternative to idle as a text editor for python?

i was going to try netbeans, but noticed they no longer support python.

Answer 1

I've been using XCode's editor on OSX. On Windows, Notepad works fine. vi is still a favorite. Many people like emacs. If you have Adobe Creative Suite on your machine, the ExtendScript editor supports Python.

Note these are text editors, not IDEs.

Answer 2

I started using pyscripter. I have visual studio, but I think it only has IronPython, which is for net. I might take a look at that later, though, because net seems useful and marketable.

Answer 3

pyscripter is the best python IDE I have used. If you just want to edit python code, then any text editor will do. It depends on preference.

Answer 4

i use sublime text as a editor .

Answer 5

I enjoy gedit on ubuntu and notepad++ on windows for mac can't beat bbedit

Answer 6

+1 for pyscripter.

Answer 7

ok visual studio now supports Cpython
