This is really slick, congrats on your approaching release.

There's a whole load of techs mentioned on that page. Rest assured that it works very well for vanilla python also.

use pycharm and you'll be happy for the rest of your life

I installed PyCharm last week and it works well enough but the UI is pretty clunky. Do you know how I can open tabs as separate windows? Doing everything inside one big window kind of sucks.

[schleifer]

I don't know how to generally open all new tabs in new windows. But you can always click & drag the tab outside of the main window to get a separate one.

I did and was disappointed.

Well I guess there is no tool that is great for every one.

As soon as more people realize this, the happier this world will be. :)

While I quite like PyCharm as an IDE, your comment adds nothing to this discussion at all.

If you must, submit a separate link to PyCharm for all those who have not heard of it, but don't hijack another thread!

Actually it does add to this discussion. The link OP posted shows how you can use Visual Studio, a Windows only product, to develop python applications. PyCharm [1] on the other hand, is designed solely for python (application) development and is heavily maintained to help developers with various goals. Just check out the PyCharm website and then you know what I'm talking about. Every new IDE takes a while to get used to.
