[Flask] A good text editor to work with Flask?

[Adil Hasan]

Hello,

Are you looking for a text editor or an integrated development
environment (IDE), or you'er not sure?

If you think about what you want the tool to do maybe that will help
with your decision. Do you want the tool out of the box to be able
to handle the build, test, deployment etc? If so then maybe you want
an IDE.

If you're happy to keep things separate and just want an editor for
editing files that is 'python-aware' (ie handles indentation and can
support look-ups of functions/methods) then perhaps something like
EMACS or VIM could be useful along with some plugins.

For me I'm old-school. I use vim along with something called a browser
to look-up library functions and pylint or flake8. I use behave for
managing unit tests and I have a script to link these together. 
You could create a hook in git or mercurial or whatever CMS you use to 
run these tools when you are about to commit code.

Think about what you are most productive in. for me it's vim. It used
to be emacs, but I needed to switch as machines I needed to work on
didn't have emacs by default, but did have vi. 

I have tried Atom, Eclipse, Netbeans and have found they are too
opinionated for me. I guess
I am not using them right. I have found these applications to be
resource hungry (noticed my machine cpu load increase which was
puzzling), so I switched to vim with plugins and separate tools for
different tasks glued together with scripts.
