just what I said, TOO many ;-)

Yes, test some, and choose one.
[personnaly, I use Notepad++ on Windows, and Kate on Linux, just
editors, not IDEs]

and of course how do you keep these pages up-to-date ?
Zeus (commercial) isn't mentioned ...

....its a Wiki... click the right link and update it:

http://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments?action=edit

SPE which has great credits, but can't be found, and if you find it
somewhere, no manual and it crashes within 30 seconds (repeatly) ;-)

Not an easy task I guess,
but it would be nice to have some voting system,
(maybe only to allow voting when you have compared at least 2 programs)
that would represent the current state,
and in which new programs would have a fair chance to start.

Its difficult, apart from their stability (which can get better or bad
on the time, upen their evolution and the evolution of the libraries
they use), its a large part of personnal taste.

IMHO you can only have functionnal comparison of such tools. I started a
synthesis page of editors/IDEs functionnalitie s in the pythonfr wiki
(french) some (long) time ago...

http://wikipython.flibuste.net/moin.py/EditeursEtIDESynthese

But a Wiki form seem to not be the best way for such comparison... a
dynamic page with a database and some dynamic request would be better.

By "IDE" you mean IDLE, don't you?

Thanks. Already did it, but used Word. I can get line numbers in that way.

And you are absolutely certain you won't never, ever, detect a typo when
you have your script open in Word, correct it, save the file and try to
use the resulting mess as a Python script? Or does Word leave it as a text
file in such a case? I never dare to open source code in Word, so I'm not
really sure.

Yes, looking at it again, it's IDLE in my Start (Programs) menu. When I put
it into Word, I print the document with line #s and then mark up the
listing. I never try to use a Word doc in Python.

Correct.

I don't see any responses that address regarding
pywin32-210.win32-py2.5.exe, so it looks like I'll have to undbundle it and
see for myself.

Re: Python Windows Editors

Yes, pywin32 installs PythonWin.
