an Eclipse plugin bringing Python and Jython support. The debugging leaves a bit to be desired, but has interesting stuff like code completion.
I'm using pydev right now... it seems ok. I'm mainly interested in refactoring, which it seems to have. I'm wondering if Spyder has it. I don't see a reference to that in the docs.
I am a fan of Eclipse with Pydev for mid to large size development, but it is not really built for interactive work with the interpreter or for quick, off the cuff scripts.
I didn't know Sypder IDE before.. however, when I click on documentation and I've got a corrupted link I usually assume it sucks. But of course, I might be wrong :)
Spyder is an excellent lightweight IDE for short Python scripts and interactive use of Python. There are certainly better IDEs for large projects, but for quick scripts Spyder is excellent and has just hit its official 1.0 release.
Just installed on XP.
Nothing shows up after I click link from start-menu.
start -> run -> spyder
At the surface level (from the screenshot) it looks like this includes everything you could possibly need, which is a huge flaw in my book, because it presents itself as that. I want something that shows simplistically, but is powerful underneath. Emacs (vi(m) for some) is that for me.
