I'm usually a hand coder, who doesn't use an IDE often, but I've been trying PyCharm out lately and it's wonderful.My project which uses PyGame, is using CEF Python as the GUI, and the debugger has no issues digging in. ÂThe class inspector and code-completion are really nice, for the languages it supports. ÂAnd the free version gives more than I might expect from free software.On Wed, Apr 16, 2014 at 3:25 PM, Russell Jones <russell.jones@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I like spyder. Version 2.3 (in beta) supports python 3. It has
variable and object inspection, class/source hierarchy panel, embedded
ipython console (if you have zmq installed) and other nice stuff. You
could try installing it from the repository in a virtualenv with pip
install hg+https://bitbucket.org/spyder-ide/spyderlib if you're
feeling adventurous. There are also installation instructions at
https://bitbucket.org/spyder-ide/spyderlib/overview where there's a
Windows version. It's probably simplest to go for a release version.
I've been using 2.3b3 for a few months on and off with no problems
(via MacPorts, py33-spyder-devel, specifically). It works best with
pep8, pylint, pyflakes, rope (being replaced with something else
soonish, though, I forget what) and I think a few other support(ed)
modules installed as well as the required dependencies. I suggest you
tweak the code introspection features in preferences (and generally
set things up as you like there).
