Looking for Django IDE

[Mark Phillips]

What IDE do you use/recommend for developing django web sites? Or, if not an IDE, what editor/setup is most useful? I am developing on Linux version 3.1.0-1-amd64 (Debian 3.1.8-2). I would rather use something open source. I use eclipse for developing android/java projects. Since I am using django in conjunction with an android project, I don't want to use the plugin for eclipse. Switching between python and java perspectives is a little annoying, so I thought I would find a separate ide for my django work and just alt-tab between them.

I have tried gedit, but I cannot get the django plugin to work. I am looking at ninja, but there does not appear to be a django plugin. 

Thanks,

Mark

Hi,

I'm using PyDev in Eclipse and it seems quite nice: http://pydev.org/

Have a look at the Django-specific stuff:
http://pydev.org/manual_adv_django.html

Please note that you must use a nightly build for Django 1.4 due to this:

Cheers,
Alex

Oh, regarding your problem of the 'annoying switching of perspectives':

1) Start eclipse
2) Open your java project, switch to the Java perspective
3) From the menu: Window->New Window
4) In the new window, open your django project and switch to the PyDev
perspective
5) Alt-tab between the two Eclipse windows (one will be in PyDev and the
other in Java perspective)

You can also create two different Eclipse work-spaces and run two
instances of eclipse (if you have ample RAM on your system).

There's Jetbrains's PyCharm, which has a lot of built-in dedicated
Django support (e.g. inspections and quick fixes, visual debugging of
templates) and more generally excellent Python support (language &
ecosystem, supports virtualenvs and cython for instance).

And it has the usual excellent support for webby stuff (HTML, CSS, JS)

[Alexandr Aibulatov]

Try to use vim with plugins for django.

Aptana Studio 3 is basically Eclipse beefed up with PyDev and other useful plugins, targeted towards web devel. I use it regularly, and besides the cool colour schemes, the thing is pretty stable (I was really tired of scouring the web just to get my Eclipse builds running properly).
If you can shell out some money,.PyCharm is an *excellent* IDE, with true virtualenv support and all. It costs a little, but it is worth it.

I use vim with a plugin called "python mode" which can be found here. It's a collection of several python plugins that gives you a lot of options. You can also check out various vimrc files on github for other ideas.

[Sells, Fred]

Is there a Django 1.4.1 in the works that would solve this problem? I
also use Eclipse+PyDev and am planning to upgrade to Django 1.4 shortly.
However my management is not going to allow using a nightly build in a
production system regardless of the justification. I guess my options
are to stick with 1.3 or create a dummy project manually and copy and
tweak it whenever I need a new project. Any suggestions.

From the forum post, it was not clear if this is a Django, PyDev or
Eclipse issue. Any thoughts?

Fred.

[Alexandros Karypidis]

This is a problem in PyDev, not Django.

The fix is already committed in the PyDev repository and will be
released in PyDev 2.5.0:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3512322&group_id=85796&atid=577329

If you can't wait until PyDev 2.5.0, the only solution is to use a
nightly build.

You should explain to your "management" that they should get out of your
way and let you do your job.

sublime 2 + plugin for djando syntax

Thanks; actually I can use the nightly build for an IDE plugin so your response "saves the day". I just cannot use it in software deployed in production.

Thanks again,

[Andre Terra]

OP, there are about a dozen threads regarding django and IDEs in the mailing list. Please search the archive before asking the same question again. Let's try not e-mail thousands of people needlessly!

WingIDE or PyCharm and be happy. PyDev does the trick also.

[Sagar Chalise]

Geany with plugins. Lightweight and wonderful. Some extra plugins can be found here as well like zencoding and python bindings. In order to create tags you can use these helpers that I have created as well.

I tried Eclipse with PyDev, Aptana 2 and 3, Vim, Komodo and possibly a
few more that I forgot about. I wasted a lot if time configuring and
setting up
In the end, I went to PyCharm, and although that costs a little, they
win with their hands down on productivity, integration, and getting
the job done.
I love the integrated debugger that let's you put breakpoints in
templates, the live templates that speed up coding and the ton of
other features. Their support is excellent too. I use a lot of free
and open source solutions but here the 100 something euro were earned
backon productivity in a day.
