| A large list of editors supporting Python can be found at http://www.python.org/editors/ | Whether you want to quickly edit Python source code, write or debug whole Python programs, or use Python in IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments, you have a pleasantly wide range of choices. If you have anything to contribute -- e.g. configurations for editors, new editors, or opinion -- don't hesitate to edit or create pages. There's an EditorConfigurationHowto available. |
