Komodo isn't perfect either. Nothing is perfect, except God and human
laziness.

I like Komodo, it plays well with my laziness.

I'm not used to their approach.

I usually program in Java but recently I reliazed if I'm making Linux
shell scripts, Python seems to be good choice to me.

So, that Pydev Eclipse plug-in (or some other) seems interested.

Uops, it seems that I should give a second chance to it, I haven't
noticed its settings.

jEdit don't maintain indentation level correct (it was my first try)
then I googled a bit and was confused so I posted a message here :).

For me, I find that IDLE is about the worse for editing Python sources.

I used to use Notepad++ before I started using Boa. Sometimes I still
use Notepad++ because I can easly right click on a file to open it up
in Notepad++.

I use the editor that comes with Dabo. It has most features that any
good python editor has. It does CURRENTLY lack many options, however
that will change in the future. All of Dabo is being worked on and
updated a lot, sometimes as much as 10-15 things changed, added and/or
fixed in a day. Although, you will want the svn version for the most
resent changes.

Check out http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors. I personally use Emacs

Yeah, emacs: yeah. Particularly with the Emacs Code Browser add-on.

Well... pydev has it: http://pydev.sf.net and pydev extensions goes much
further: http://www.fabioz.com/pydev

"Worse"? Now that's harsh. I'm with billie on this one. I usually spend a day or so every 3 months trying to find a free python editor that surpasses IDLE. I've been doing it for 3 years now and for me, IDLE is still king of the hill.

What I like about IDLE is that it is configurable, intuitive and rock stable, and I've come to realize that combination is rare indeed in the world of free editors.

Another pro for IDLE is that you probably already have it installed, since it comes included in the standard python releases. If you decide to give IDLE a go you might also want to check out the latest subversion version of IDLE, since it has a bunch of really useful syntax helper updates.

Cheers!

Re: editor for Python on Linux

The indentation-based folding in vim makes it great
for python; other folding editors might be almost as
good.

[Ben Wilson]

Re: editor for Python on Linux

You know, I have that for Perl, but seem never to have set up folding
for Python. I must remedy this tonight.
