Looking for a Python IDE with good support for libraries (Twisted) [closed]

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2586274

Question

I'm looking for a Python IDE that can help me easily locate and manage and use the libraries on my system (Ubuntu). Specifically Twisted.

Code completion is important including the symbols I import.

(I've so far had a look at PyDev as well as OpenKomodo, but while both offer code completion for default Python concepts, I wasn't able to get either to import Twisted into my project and was thus getting reference errors.)

Usual disclaimer: I don't like EMACS or vi, please, nothing regarding those.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Using Wing IDE with Twisted discusses how to debug twisted using their IDE - although unfortunately WingWare is not free.

Are you sure you have given PyDev a fair look? It seems to be the most popular Python IDE, and I have always had good experiences with it in the past.

OTHER TIPS

I've just downloaded the preview of netbeans and it seems to have done quite well so far.

It has detected inherited methods & properties. I haven't had to add a single library reference in my project, so this seems to be the most fluid so far.

eclipse + pydev seems to work well for me.

Just remember to right-click on the project and select Properties and make sure that your libraries are on the path. Sometimes this doesn't happen for easy_installed libraries.

Check out JetBrains PyCharm. It features:

  • Code completion of any imported library
  • Good support for unit testing
  • Refactoring
  • Debugging
  • Version control integration

It's built on the same platform as IntelliJ IDEA which is a generally considered one of the best Java IDEs. There's a community edition which is free and open-source.

Like Eclipse is primarily a Java IDE written in Java, you could try Eric which is a Python IDE written in Python. I have had some issues with it in the past but I really enjoy the ability to stop your code at a breakpoint and have access to the python console to manipulate your data or even to inject new functions. PyDev could really use a console like that.

for a small proyects Scribes. Otherwise Eclipse+pydev.
