[Python-ideas] Accessible tools

[Bryan Duarte]

Hello all,

Thank you all for your feedback. I did respond but did not reply all so my message only went to Chris. 

I understand I do not need an IDE to program Python, I was only looking for an IDE for the tools it offers when exploring classes and methods. I am experimenting with different libraries and with an IDE or other tool I can quickly and easily see methods which can be called from different classes. If you are aware of how I can do this using VIM, eMacs or any other tool please let me know. I typically just use VIM or another text editor to write the majority of my code but in this case and some other cases it is more efficient to have these tools that make code development faster and easier. 

Here are the tools I have tried already but I will also be posting to the other group soon.
• pyCharm
• iPy
• iPY notebook
• Idle
• Eclipse
So far Eclipse worked the best but there were still some issues like it freezing when tool tips would pop up. I also use VIM and have my .vimrc modified to auto indent and execute some scripts like pIndent when called. Thanks again everyone for your help even though this is not the correct place for this question. 

p.s if this group handles Python tools by any chance it would be nice to have something like Idle made accessible.
