[Tutor] Python Editors .. which do you reccomend for a amateur?

[Rob Andrews]

A fair enough and frequently-asked question...

I take it you're in a Windows environment?

For basic editing purposes, I'm pretty crazy about IDLE after all
these years, although I use Komodo IDE for most of my production code.
When the other programmers in my department tasked me with picking a
standard for use in the department this week, I settled on the
standard Windows distro from python.org with IDLE because it's
consistently straight-forward & predictable in behavior.

For ease of use beyond a certain level of sophistication, however, I
go straight to Komodo IDE without meaningful complaint. Part of my
reasoning for that, though, is that it enables me to use the same
familiar environment for python, perl, javascript & PHP.
