The IDLDE was an Eclipse variant, but I've tried installing Eclipse before for something else and I'm pretty sure I don't need *that* kind of headache on a Friday afternoon. Unless, of course, I need a good excuse to head over to the Rio for the margaritas. :-)

Sorry for responding to you post Chris but I missed Davids post.

David,

I really like SPE IDE - Stani's Python Editor
