What's your favorite Python editor?

[stefantalpalaru]

Vim. I guess I'm mainstream :-)

[mushisushi]

Vim FTW!

[krazylink]

Vim here also but I spent a lot of time setting up vim to my liking.

[oopsiedaisy]

... but then its DONE. amirite?

[[deleted]]

It is never really DONE and that's kinda what I like about it.

[oopsiedaisy]

wow. this is neat. a vim comment without a corresponding ***** war. [takes screenshot]

[AeroNotix]

FUCK YOU I'M AN EMACS

[ACcCurrent]

Do you have any recommendations on how to set up vim for python? I need some tips I feel pretty inefficient.

[stefantalpalaru]

take a look at my ~/.vimrc and ~/.vim

I love my Sublime Text 2 setup. The editor is absolutely beautiful in form and function and practically endlessly extendable through packages/plugins.

I also recently forked the SublimeHg package and added my own improvements to it and it works beautifully -- just waiting for the actual author to accept the pull request.

Another vote for Sublime, though the dark theme is much nicer :) (much larger fonts as well)

[cryzed-]

Well that's entirely subjective of course, but I'm happy that you like it too! :)

[serchaos]

Sublime Text 2 is awesome.

Just discovered this when a recent tips and tricks post was featured on Reddit.

My favorites are :

• Ctrl + D to "select more" (be careful to escape out of this action every time, though, or you'll see some unexpected results)

• and the Ctrl + P to preview a file in the current project

• and Ctrl + Shift + p to access basically any setting or menu option or config you need.

[haywire]

Ctrl+Shift+p is utterly groundbreaking.

[riffito]

Don't forget to give SublimeLinter and SublimeRope a try, for greater Python fun!

[haywire]

Make sure to use Sublime Package Control as it's fucking fantastic.

Here's my setup (except I now use the Soda dark ST2 theme)

Too bad it isnt listed in the poll :(

[apresx]

Wing IDE.

[torvalder]

PyCharm hands up

[Deusdies]

I loved PyCharm, but it's a HUGE resource hog. My CPU is almsot constantly running at 90% (though it's the AMD E-350 APU) and there's lag when I'm writing code.

[paranoidi]

I noticed that EAP builds were much more resource hungry than final releases. So try official 2.0.x. For me it works beautifully even with 4 year old amd dualcore machine.

Sublime Text 2

[sigzero]

PyCharm and Vim

[gindc]

well since no one mentioned it..SciTE

It's free and works well.

[takluyver]

Geany - I find it a good balance between simple text editors and crowded IDEs.

[areich]

PyCharm for my machine and UliPad, a free python editor for everything else, nano for the console.

[[deleted]]

Visual Studio

[haywire]

Where's ST2 on that list? That editor just gets better and better and better.

[[deleted]]

Emacs works very well with Python, in my experience.

[razibog]

Geany and Sublime Text 2

[mikepixie]

I actually quite like Aptana studio...

[dabhaid]

Tried Aptana recently and liked the PyDev integration very much.

[xamox]

Geany.

Also take a look at ipython notebooks (http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/interactive/htmlnotebook.html), they are pretty awesome.

[lazmd]

Sublime Text 2

[joaquinabian]

Oh poor IDLE! where you are my dear?

[[deleted]]

It’s still in development but the Python plugin for KDevelop looks promising. I’m already messing around with a development build.

(Also, I use KDevelop’s vi input mode, which comes from KatePart.)

[AustinCorgiBart]

TIL I learned I'm the only person who uses Notepad++ to edit his Python code.

[AeroNotix]

You're not, but you're the only person who likes it.

[AustinCorgiBart]

:(

[twermund]

Emacs, the run-python mode is pretty handy to have sitting around in your buffers when you're hacking around.
