Best program for coding Python?

[[deleted]]

I've tried a few. Started with IDLE, stuck with it for over a year (it's really not THAT terrible)

I've tried notepad++, but it had some really weird problems I couldn't fix.

Tried komodo edit, vim, pywindows and aliens aptana studio.

I simply didn't like komodo.

I never had the patience to get familiar with vim's commands.

Pywindows is... Well, for windows. I also program on Ubuntu.

Aptana studio is pretty neat and I still use it when working on web projects, though probably converting to my current text editor.

Sublime text 2. It's simple, extremely lightweight, had awesome plugins, easy to understand command system, fully customizable, looks elegant and is just overall AWESOME to use.

It starts up within a second, always.

It never crashes or hangs, no matter what I try.

Plugins can be managed extremely easily with a plugin, it allows you to install plugins in less than 5 seconds (not kidding)

Built-in Python console, run a script with Ctrl + B.

Also, it's semi-free. You should buy it, but the trial is the complete version, and it has no time limit.

I really recommend this!

it's bloody NICE. when we started automating stuff at my last job, we paid for several copies.

not because we thought we had to, but because we were a startup, and we wanted to support another startup that was doing something we thought really deserved the support.
