Not a problem it's definitely a great tool to add to one's toolbag!
Enjoy

Thank you for the tip on Pyscripter, it's very impressive and more
intuitive compared to eclipse. Also it takes up about half the amount
of memory compared to eclipse and a whole lot fast. Removing eclipse

Thank you for the tip on Pyscripter, it's very impressive and more

from the system and I'll play with it for a while and than try out
wing IDE.

Hello,

Just to add my experience on this subject : I found the PyScripter the best non commercial IDE. Has intellisense and debugging built-in. [link]
By far the best I have tried:
      *Free*
      Portable
      Ctrl+scroll moves fast around code!

From what I have experienced the larger the project the more need for
a heavy weight IDE. It saves you time and therefore the company money
when you need to quickly navigate through a large project. I last
project I was part of at work we had more than 500 source files using
MS visual studio, nunit and C# (I was in a software testing group). I

very sorry Jurgis,
we've been having a huge spam-video problem recently, which I needed some
time to work on. As a result I used a crude filter on the video-series and
yours got caught. Will publish right away, and apologies again.

how long could it take?

I'm with both Kyran and Ian. I've used vim / gvim quite a bit for
Python development and it works great for programming, especially with
a Unix / Linux system.
I'm now in the beginning phases of a new and exciting project that
will have me doing more Python programming, so I recently bought a
copy Wing Pro and love it. All of it's features do seem a bit busy,

You may also take a look at [link] (I use it on ubuntu)
it's very fast, has autocompletion and code browser, but doesn't
support debugging.
somewhat reminds of notepad++.
For debugging I use [link] (seems like
bloated and lazy IDE),
Neatbeans also have python plugin [link]

You can get pretty far just using VIMs built-in string completion on
open-buffers, file-systems and the like. This works pretty well for me:

just stick this in your .vimrc to engage:
autocmd FileType python set omnifunc=pythoncomplete#Comple te

Ian, I agree with you 100%. I was using Visual Studio for about 5 yrs
doing unit testing with C#.
When my job changed and didn't have studio I had to "re-learn vim"
again. Even now I need
to look-up a lot of vim magic. If you put a dollar value to it, if an
IDE saves you a couple of hours
a month. WingIDE would be paid for in two months and saving your

WingIDE handles most language types just fine, I've done C++, html, php and
Python just fine. But...it is yet-another-IDE-to-learn as you say.
On the flip side you (Kyran) know well that my fear about learning vi(m) or
another cmd-line based system is that I have to keep using it to remember
how to do everything. The joy of WingIDE is that I can pick it up every 6

What plug-ins for VIM do you use and what addtions to .vimrc? I use
cygwin, vim and gvim all the time but never thought of looking for a
python code completion plugin. For "c" development I use taglist and
ctags.

Just to offer an alternative perspective, I'm still not convinced that most
Python programming needs an IDE. For me one of the advantages of a dynamic
language, and scripting languages in general, is speed and ease of
development. Most everything I can imagine wanting in a development
environment can be accomplished with a decent editor (VIM in my case) and a

I have used PyDev. It requires Eclipse which is a mixed blessing. Eclipse
does a LOT more (feature bloat or kitchen sink - it is one tool that does
all?) than PyDev, but is not as easy to use as I would like. (probably needs
a screencast or 50 ;-)
I did a bit with Komodo. It is very good, but the project I was using it on
