I've been using Komodo, which whilst it isn't open source, has a free version. The full version, replete with Debugger, SCM and more, can be set up as an Educational License, which is free if you meet certain conditions. It's cross-platform, and quite good. http://www.activestate.com I am in no way affiliated with ActiveState. Other than being a customer. On 24/07/07, Clare Richardson <clare@girlstart.org> wrote:

I'd like to get some opinions on the different Python editors and how well they work for teaching Python as a first programming language. We're thinking about using Dr. Python, since I'd like to keep away from the command line. Thoughts?
