I'm a bit annoyed at having to give up the 'integrated' environment of IDLE and use ipython, although I concede that ipython is quite nice. In particular I now need an editor. Can anyone help? Unlike you I prefer emacs but haven't yet found an easy win32 binary (any idea where I can get it? I would rather not mess with cygwin etc). Also, it's a bit heavyweight.

I have finally decided on VIM. It is a bit painful at first and like VI, it has modes where typing doesn't produce text. But the leads to lots of key board short cuts and it has tab-completion as well. Another good choice is Crimson Editor. It is free and does syntax highlighting for many languages including python. I have used it for matlab, LaTeX, html, python, and C++. http://www.crimsoneditor.com/ Other people may have other suggestions. Ryan Howey, David A wrote: yeah, I've got it running in colour..

I've just installed ipython. Seems okay, although I was getting to quite like the look and feel of 'idle', particularly the way it hints at syntax (like excel does) and also uses colours in the interpreter, and links to its own editor.

You can get binary versions of gnu emacs at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/ eg http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/emacs-21.3-fullbin-i386.tar.gz No cygwin required. I usually untar it in Program Files and then create a shortcut to bin/runemacs on my desktop. I use them it all the time on win32; after putty and winscp it's the first thing I install on a new windows box. Only thing that keeps me sane in windows land... If you already like emacs, emacs + ipython are a great combination that work well together. You can, for example, configure ipython and emacs so that from ipython you can do In [3]: pwd Out[3]: '/home/jdhunter' In [4]: edit test.py and have test.py appear in a emacs buffer in the running emacs session. Never tried this on windows, though. Also,
ipython -pylab
mode has special support for maptlotlib pylab mode, and will automagically handle gui threading, etc... JDH

I think you need gnuserv to make this work on windows. This link looks useful: http://www.mirror5.com/software/emacs/windows/faq3.html#assoc -- Darren
Also take a look at SciTE if you want a small, fast editor with a Python heritage which follows MS Windows editing conventions: http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTE.html It supports single key execution and matplotlib works fine with it. Gary Howey, David A wrote:

SciTE does look pretty cool. When I try to run a python script using the F5 - run, it automatically closes all the plot windows and exists before I can see them. I tried adding a raw input wait and then it waits for me but doesn't finish drawing the plots. What is the right way to do this? Ryan Gary Ruben wrote:
