      Emacs runs on both. So do Eclipe and a lot of other... What is best? The
      one that solves your problems without getting in your way.

        Hmmm...it's been almost a week since this topic came up on
        the list. Good to see the topic is undead :) For plenty of
        reading, check out the list archives:



        Pretty much any text editor will do. If you're developing
        on both Linux and Windows, it's an advantage to have an
        editor that you can use on both. I happen to use vim/vi
        which is available pretty much wherever you go. About the
        same sorta thing can be said for emacs, though I'm not a
        user, so I can't comment on it. I'll grant that vi/vim has
        a learning curve like a brick wall, but once you're over the
        initial learning hurdle, it reaps heaps of rewards.

        Check out http://www.python.org/moin/PythonEditors

        Try 'em out and see what *you* like. In a pinch, there's
        always ed:




        Or edlin if you're on Dos/Win32 :) Though I think in such
        an event on Dos/Win32, I'd almost rather use "copy con" as
        my editor...

          Why don´t you try the editor wich comes with Pythoncard.
          Or Notepad++ Thanks

            Food for thought... I admit it would be best if you could use the same
            editor for both *nix and Windows -- in that case, I'd say Scite would
            be best as it is almost identical in both environments. However, my own
            personal favorites are: Crimson Editor for Windows and Kate for Linux.
            Yes, I know... strange choices (especially Kate) but they both do what
            I need them to do. :-)

              I agree, Kate is a great linux editor!

              On windows, I'd have to say notepad2- kate for windows

                just to bloat this thread some more:

                Am I the only one using jEdit?

                  Been using PyDev plugin for Eclipse for a week now... works pretty
                  good, and integrates well with PyLint.

                  Has some context-sensitive help, but not much. I wonder if writing a
                  script to convert Python HTML docs to Javadoc format would help?
                  Hmmmm.... maybe I'll ask.

                    Was actually going to throw in jEdit for the category of what's good on
                    both platforms... For someone who despises Java, I actually like it.

                        Well, Notepad might be a bare-bones. I enjoy using UltraEdit, though
                        not UEStudio (the IDE version). You can include a "wordfile" to get
                        Python syntax recognition. Tools are user configurable globally or by
                        project - my first three global tools are Check (with pychecker), Test
                        and Run

                        Regards

                          What may be "best" for me, may not necessarily work for you nor anybody
                          else. Personally, I like to use Kate, Pico, or Joe on Linux, and
                          Notepad2 or IDLE editor for Windows.

                          Cheers,

                            Just because nobody has mentioned them so far:

                            - SciTe is a perfect editor for Pyhton on Win and Linx
                            - PyScripter is a wonderful IDE (but only on Win)
                            - DrPython is a nice platform independent editor/mini-IDE

                            There is no one editor that could be called the best one, but there are
                            many which are far better suited for Python than the simple standard
                            text editors (Notepad & Co).

                            Maybe you prefer to have one editor that suits all your programming and
                            typing needs (not only Python), so you don't have to use different
                            editors Python, HTML, XML, config files etc. SciTe performs very well
                            here, and of course also Emacs...
