what python idle do you use under ubuntu?

[wsonar]

the standard python IDLE seems real buggy is there a different one I should be using or what does everyone else use?

I've installed all the python ide's and tried them out but I like the way the idle works.

I'm using 2.5 because it had more stars than 2.6 under add/remove for whatever reason

on XP i'm running 2.6 which works how it should

Did they do something different on the linux version it looks like i'm running it through wine or something, it won't let me highlight text or click the cursor to a position and the window's are just slow moving them around the screen.

has anybody else experienced this I get the same results with the standard python idle on several box's

Vim!

in a terminal if I type python it use's version 2.6

but I can't open a new window like the IDLE I like to be able to test out scripts with the run command that the idle offers

I would say gedit (with the oblivion theme btw)

You don't need the idle. just open multiple terminal windows and test the scripts with the command "python myscript.py".

If you wish to use something more advanced, try Komodo out, it even compiles your code as you write, pointing out your syntax errors.

yea I like using gedit was even going to try to compile it for windows

I had been using gedit because the IDLE coloring is not good then I was opening them in the IDLE to run because I figured that would give me the best syntax error's for troubleshooting

guess I will just use the terminal and gedit

Thanks.

I don't want to sound retarded but does VIM do code coloring?

Give Geany a try... small, fast, configurable, with syntax highlighter, and integrated terminal window.

May be found in Synaptic Package Manger
