I am trying to choose a new IDE to write Python code, after a few problems I
had with the *beeeep* generic editor I use.
I've read the very interesting blurg from Jonathan Ellis here
but i didn't find the IDE that fits me yet. I am trying them all.
The perfect IDE for me needs:
easy encoding configuration: I do iso-8859-15 and some of the IDE out
there don't want me to.
simple, yet powerfull, code completion. Some of them are just
crazy.
reasonable CPU/Mem load
A decente learning curve
good enough code cleaning: trailing spaces removal
bad syntax notifier:the bug Stani's Python Editor pops is great
decent debugguer links, with toggles.
easy macro programming
XML, ZPT, CSS, and third party editing as well, with proper
*indentation*. 4 is nice for Python, I want 2 for ZPT !
...
Tried so far: drpython, SPE, Eric3
Best pick so far: Eric3, but SPE is not bad
Next try: Wing IDE (I have a feeling about this one). If WingIDE fits, I'll
buy it so I won't have to download and install Eclipse to try Pydev ;)
