Looks like PyScripter development Stopped! Which is the good alternate for it?

Looks like PyScripter development Stopped since 2012!
So Which is the good alternate for it?

[Andy Milne]

I switched to Microsoft's Visual Studio 2012. There's a plugin you can get for Python. It allows adding break points, inspector etc.. to debug Python scripts and it also supports Django.

Here's a link:

http://pytools.codeplex.com/

I assume it'll work with the various free versions of Visual Studio.

No alternative is necessary, PyScripter is working perfectly.

I switched to Vim (debugging with pdb/ipdb). 

For begginers i would recommend pycharm or pydev.

What problems are you experiencing?  Better to explore remedies for these, rather than learning a new tool.

Kiriakos, the PyScripter developer does appear from time to time.

Not only is Kiriakos still present, but others have jumped in to offer
patches for the few problems that have arisen.

OK lets see,...

breakpoints get ignored,
hangs in debug mode,
doesn't return to editor mode instantly when an error is found (when you get the red bar highlighting it)
if you undock the variable window - how the heck to you redock it?  (had to reset layout to default)

The breakpoint is seriously bad

[Colin J. Williams]

I agree that PyScripter now has some problems on Windows 7 AMD64.

Greece has  economic problems and need a change of direction, perhaps Kiriakos is immersed in these.

I would be good to hear from him, as PyScripter has been a great tool over the years.

I could not keep using PyScripter, it's nice and lightweight, but a million times I ran into tab/spaces issues with pre-existing code, like proper compiles but actually silently out of line -- I switched to PyDev through eclipse: pydev.org

[Colin J. Williams]

Visual Studio and Eric have been suggested.  I haven't tried either yet.

I have seen, but have not yet tried, Ninja-IDE or Eric IDE for Windows. Ninja-IDE is very similar to Pyscripter and like Eric IDE supports plugins. Eric IDE is far more actively developed as Ninja-IDE seems to have stalled a little for the last 2 years. Am currently testing both in an XFCE4 & FreeBSD 10.1 environment with little complaint. They are available for Linux, BSD and now Windows if I saw things correctly. Then there's SharpDevelop for Windows allowing Iron-python and WPF coding as well as providing conversion tools that migrate C# code to Python (and the conversion tool works - I've tried it before). NetBeans is supposed to support Python via Jython so one would assume that Python development is possible and supported with code completion as well as debugging.

PyScripter Substitutions

Python specific:

- NINJA-IDE ....... (avail. for BSD, MAC [source code only], Linux & Windows)

- Eric IDE .......... (avail. for BSD, Linux and Windows)

Extensive Python support:

- SharpDevelop ... (avail. for Windows)

- NetBeans ......... (avail. for BSD, MAC, Linux and Windows)

Check them out for yourself.

All said, if PyScripter is still alive it still has a home on my Windows machine.

Do be aware - regardless of project activity - Google Code hosting services activity will be coming to an end therefore PyScripter is going to need hosting somewhere on the web like GitHub.

There are dozen exported copies on GitHub right now, https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=pyscripter, though all look to be of the "stash this code so it doesn't get lost" variety; there aren't any new commits (but it's only been 3 weeks since the shutdown announcement).

As for alternatives the Hitchhiker's Guide gives a pretty good shortlist: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/env/ (If you need one. As isright now pyscripter still woks fine for me).
