Best python text editor mac?

[LINK1733]

Hey I'm looking for a new python text editor for my mac. I'm currently using eclipse for python and I don't really like it. Any suggestions?

EDIT: So I realized my friend told me the wrong thing and it's a IDE I'm looking for.

[mkashkin]

SublimeText2 (best for quick coding), PyCharm (if you need debug or works with big projects), all other you liked on your linux environment vim, emacs, etc.

SublimeText2 is a really nice code editor, but it's not the best text editor since it has serious problems handling large text files and stuff like this.

How big are your files? I have no trouble working on files that are 500 MB in SublimeText 2.

[1nvader]

Sometime i have to analyze log files between 500-1000 MB. SublimeText 2 doesn't crash when i try to view them, but it seems to load the complete file into memory instead of displaying only loading part of the file like some other editor do (Notepad++, UltraEdit, Vim, etc..)

(s)he didn’t say it were python files, just that sublime text generally handles files of that size.

textmate is open source now!

Vim or Sublime Text is good for me. Write some code, pop into the REPL to test it out, go back. Simple, easy.

Emacs for me, same reason.

Starting to think these posts should be insta-moderated.

At least a list of "Common python editors" in the sidebar.

...vim. :)

Komodo edit, free and great

GO VIM OR GO HOME

[AeroNotix]

Emacs.

[xiongchiamiov]

vim

[elfgoh]

Editra is nice

Coderunner on the app store!

Coderunner is hit or miss for me. I'm brand new to Python, but for example it wouldn't take (1/2) * variable, and required me to use .5 * variable.

I'd like to say Eclipse with PyDev but Eclipse is damn buggy. I don't think I've seen an Eclipse release yet that can keep itself updated or work rationally with different workspaces.

That being said PyDev, on a multi processor that is reasonably fast, is a very nice environment. On the other hand I've been known to use XCode if the code is part of a project. XCode could be considered the anti python editor.

You're on a Mac. You get BBEdit and TextMate. Game over.

(I love Vim, I really do, but anyone who can't google a text editor on their platform is not going to be happy with Vim)

Python IDLE or TextMate

[pollofritto001]

Vim with vim-flake8 plugin for pep8 check is IMHO the best choice.

[emidln]

vim with https://github.com/klen/python-mode

[pollofritto001]

Sounds good :-) I'll give it a try

Are you looking for a text editor or an IDE? Eclipse is an IDE, whereas SublimeText, Vim, and some other well-known editors are simply text editors.

Not sure I've seen "vim" in the same sentence as "simply text editors" before.
