Text editor for cython

[Neal Hughes]

Curious what people use to edit their cython files.

I use Vim, which does syntax highlighting for all *.pyx, *.pyd files no problems.

But autocompletion tools like jedi-vim, only work for python. I know Pycharm has limited cython support as well.

Thoughts?

It's not all that limited. Besides syntax highlighting, it gives you
basically all IDE features from name lookups and auto-completion to
refactorings.

It still stumbles over a couple of syntax constructs that we added to
Cython somewhat more recently, but that doesn't really get in the way all
that much. It just marks stuff as an error that isn't, but that doesn't
break anything or so.

I'm using eclipse with the pydev extension.  In the past I was a minimalist and used sam (from Plan 9) and sometimes kate for my c projects requiring multiple files but now that computers are powerful enough to handle bloatware like eclipse it turns out eclipse is a very elegant and useful multiwindow source editor.  I use it purely as an editor.

Syntax highlighting for cython and python looks very nice.

I'm using Sublime Text:

Plugin for Cython syntax:

You can use CTags plugin for a better auto completion:

Atom, GitHub's opensource editor seems an interesting alternative:
https://atom.io - https://atom.io/packages/script

Their Python support was converted[1] from the Python TextMate bundle[2]. [3]
I guess one could do the same with TextMate Cython bundle[4].

[1] https://atom.io/docs/latest/converting-a-text-mate-bundle
[2] https://github.com/textmate/python.tmbundle
[3] https://atom.io/packages/language-python
[4] http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Review/Bundles/Cython.tmbundle

Cheers,

 I am using Geany and am pretty happy with it. It is super simple and easy to customize.

See http://www.geany.org/ for more details. There are plenty of plugins for it as well.

I am using Emacs and while I get the Cython file identification in Emacs 25 on Ubuntu 18.04 I am constantly getting this error when I compile.

Expected an increase in indentation level. I have installed the Emacs specific el file. Bu it does not indent the code properly. Any suggestions ? I am unable to proceed further right now.
