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. |

=== ConText === I use a freeware text editor called ConText (for windoze only I'm afraid) from http://www.fixedsys.com/context/. |
(!) Please keep wiki links as wiki links, use external links only if there is no existing page for the editor. Please add pages like BoaConstructor also to page IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments. |

It includes language highlighters for a lot of languages including python. It also allows customisation to execute a command using the loaded files (e.g. execute the loaded python script) then capture the output and decod the line numbers where the problem occurred. | === Multiplatform Editors === |

Dave Moor === jEdit === A nice Swing based editor for many languages and Java specially. You can add additional plugins like PyUtil and Jython for your Python work. Get it from http://jedit.org Ashish Shrestha [http://www.nyatapol.com.np Nyatapol] === Gnu Emacs === GnuEmacs is the editor of the gods (XEmacs even more so - it ships with PythonMode as a default). Does everything (almost) that you could want it to. PythonMode is very useful. === SciTE === SciTE is based on SCIntilla editor engine. Originally built to demonstrate Scintilla, it has grown to be a generally useful editor with facilities for building and running programs. Plug-in suport for Python API (there is script which create description of all Python API on your computer), the best syntax highlighting, work on Linux, Solaris, Win family. Get it from http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html zlodi === VIM === VIM is an improved version of the editor "vi", one of the standard text editors on UNIX systems. It has all the features you'll ever need from an editor, and probably three times that many more that you'll never use ;-) The newer versions also include a 'vimdiff' mode that you can use to diff and merge file(s). Oh, I didn't mention it's also scriptable in Python. Get it from http://www.vim.org/ GerhardHäring |
