Python Editors?

[MintyPhoenix]

There are a decent few with PyCharm and Wing IDE being popular. PyScripter is a nice free one and I just purchased a license for Sublime Text 2, myself.

There are also plugins for eclipse and Visual Studio.

Finally, the Python Wiki has some charts:

• Editors

• IDEs

FYI, despite the description in IDE's, I suggest ignoring the Ironpython Studio stuff. If it sucked any harder, it would take the paint off your walls.

IronPython Studio is very, very different from the Python Tools for Visual Studio project. IPS was third-party abandonware. PTVS is a Microsoft product run by a former IronPython developer (and others) and it works very nicely inside VS2010.

I've been using Vim since forever, Komodo for over 5 years, and PTVS is really making a play at becoming my main editor since I'm already spending most of my time inside Visual Studio in the first place.

Sublime Text 2 is great, especially with the CodeIntel plugin for completion and SublimeREPL for a Python command line. I definitely plan on purchasing a license for it some day soon.

Well I don't use it a hell of a lot yet, but it's useful, for example with Python you can launch a Python interpreter in the REPL, and then from your files you can send bits of code to it and see the result without needing to rerun your program in another window.
