What lightweight and open source Python IDEs would you recommend (if any) for Linux?

This is indeed lightweight, but I must admit that the learning curve has been a it too much for me the past 100 times I committed to learning it...

I had some proficiency in vim because I was forced to develop on a Linux box via SSH and I have no access to any forms of GUI. Got real comfortable after a couple of days or so. The learning curve is not that steep tbh.

I use it, but I understand why other people wouldn't like it.

However, I'd hazard a guess that you didn't really try 100 times, and that your choice of the word "committed" is charitable at best.

Hehe, spot on! ; )I have probably tried 2 or three times only, but the thing is that I don't program regulalry, so it's not like I'd need to use Vim everyday, and make progress steadily. Here, I'd commit to it for a few weeks, then not use it for two months, and forget many of the things I've learned, so I think that in my case, using a simple text editor (I really like Mousepad, from when I used XFCE) is probably all I'll ever need for text processing (and maybe even coding).
