<DIV>I tried pydev, xemacs, komodo, vim, wingide, scite, drPython, pype,
idle</DIV>
<DIV>Each has each own strength point. If I choose the three of them I will
choose:</DIV>
<DIV>1. wingide (good intellisense, but you have to setup some preferences to
suit your need)</DIV>
<DIV>2. komodo (has good colour choice)</DIV>
<DIV>3. scite (very simple)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All are great and I use all of the three.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can only try one by one and decide which one is good for you.</DIV>

editor wars here...., my suggestion as I tried to state below is use what you

Re: [Tutor] Python Editors (particualrly Vim) <BR><BR>Uh oh, looks like you're
begging for an editor war.<BR><BR>That said, I'm in the vim
camp. It can do everything you specified for all of the languages
you mention (well, I'm not sure about collapsible code...web

learning new tricks (see, for example, this page I found today on
indentation[2]). <BR><BR>vim's extendable with python scripts, but a lot of
what you need for coding is already built in. I find most of my
