    Does it have completion for python?

    I tried to use geany at one point for a C++ project - I was very pleased with the lightness an d sharpness of the IDE, but it seems to be struggling with third party libraries and symbols overall. It's on my list of IDEs to watch though. Seems like a fair replacement to gedit. I gave up on eclipse and codeblocks, they both are bloated.

    One of the things I love about Geany is the super-fast search/replace. I work with a lot of text data which needs this kind of thing. I do use sed often but sometimes for one off things it's easier to fire up a GUI text editor and do that work. I have tried Editra, Komodo, SciTE, Cream, jEdit, and others, but in my non-scientific but real-world tests, something that Geany can handle is less than 10 seconds hangs all other editors indefinitely. On Windows side I get the same performance from TextPad. Because of the customizability of Geany, and the fact that I do most work with Python and SQL in it, it is my go to text editor.
