[wxPython-users] Recommendations for IDE

[Walter E. Gough]

I develop on Linux (mostly) and use Eric3 (hoping to move to Eric4 soon). I
tried several others - but settled on Eric3 because it was the only open
source IDE I could find that has a multithreaded debugger for Python.
Eric3's code completion is pretty much useless (IMHO), so I just turned it
off to speed up the editor - and that's about the only thing I've had to
complain about.

Every couple months I go looking for a new IDE ... If Komodo had a nice,
rock solid GUI designer for wxPython, I'd cough up the money.

On Windows, trying to setup Eric3 is quite a pain and I would recommend it.
On Windows, I just use KomodoEdit (it's free and is pretty decent).

If someone is aware of an open source python IDE with good syntax
highlighting, useful code completion, and a debugger that can handle
multithreaded apps, I'd love to hear about it.

SPE is very interesting with its support for Blender, but many of the
programs I write are multithreaded. It's been a while since I tried SPE, so
maybe it can handle it?

I keep thinking about starting a project to build a GUI designer for
wxPython - something so easy to use it might remind you of VB. But as soon
as "VB" crosses my mind, I become ill and start thinking of all the reasons
I like Python. (I'm not trying to pick a fight ... you are more than welcome
to VB if that is what you like; I think I might have a copy somewhere you
can have. Come to think of it I gave that CD to my little girl when she was
teething, I knew that CD would be useful someday.)
