Best Python IDE
urlwolf:
Just for completeness:
boa-constructor.sourceforge.net
Good for doing GUIs. Has anyone tried this? Could be good for NANY2009.
IntelliJ idea do have a plugin for Python:
http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=631
This could be promising as many people swear by IDEA.
iphigenie:
I must say I like netbeans as an IDE. It also does java, ruby, php, javascript, c - if it did perl I'd be thrilled
urlwolf:
There's no perl IDE that I know of that is worth anything.
IntelliJ looks fantastic to understand large codebases. Its dependency feature offers a tree of where a function is called, and a small code preview next to it (nifty!).
It doesn't compare to say pydev because they don't even have a debugger, but I don't discard buying IDEA if they keep pushing the python plugin.
urlwolf:
The thing with netbeans (and IDEA) is that I never managed to get a decent console working on it. The default one doesn't even have history. That's pretty deal-breaker. But I've seen videos of netbeans with a decent console. I just don't know how to get it to work (in Ruby or Python). If anyone finds out, please post.
There's also a nice stand-alone python debugger here:

I'm finding IDEA really great. Their diff is second to none; it makes beyond compare look like a toy. Worth the price of admission just because of that!
