IDE suggestions for Python

[needmorewood]

i just want something simple to start with.
ive done python before so not something so dumbed down but nothing to the level of eclipse where i got to setup and deal with alot.

so just post your favourite IDE's for Python

I am assuming you are using linux for python development.

I've used Ninja IDE for most of my python projects. It is cross platform and very easy to use. Don't believe me? Take a look : http://ninja-ide.org/

Screenshot:

 

There is another editor not an IDE which I have have fallen in love with: Kate http://kate-editor.org/

The pic will explain everything:

 

Those are the two Editors/IDEs I like.

If you do need an extensive list try: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors

Not a python developer and not fan of IDEs , but Sublime Text http://www.sublimetext.com is great editor and it's cross-platform - not free but evaluation version just pops-up window time to time on save - was using it quite for some time this way. For Windows my favorite before Sublime was Notepat++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org and it's totally free. On Linux I have tried free http://komodoide.com/komodo-edit and it was ok, there's full IDE too, but that's quite pricey

OK, then let's look at this the other way. What are the features you need from IDE?

oh i just like it for the UI is all

plus i have another ide to easily make GUI's for my apps

VIM, pretty much the best open markup editor out there and there are many tutorials out there explaining how to turn it into a IDE

In most cases, programming in python does not really require a full ide. Because of how high level python is, execution time can be quite terrible compared to some of the other languages. as a result, in most cases devs use python very lightly, maybe a decent text editor with plugins to some of the features of ides should be enough to get by. 

 

Personally I use sublime text 3 with some plugins to make my life easier:

 

Some of my essential plugins:

origami (splits the editing window take advantage of all your screen real estate)

anaconda (by far one of the best python linters out there) 

pythonimproved syntax theme (the default python syntax is based off python 2, some of the paradigms break the syntax highlighting when your programming in python3)

soda dark theme

if you really want to run code in your editor to give it that "ide" feel, you can try sublimerepl. Personally though a terminal window (or putty) was more than enough for me.
