Re: [pygame] recommendation for a good n00b IDE



So. . . . any recommendations for a good n00b IDE? I really like IDLE's stripped down no-frills approach. Also, I need to be able to set a white-on-black color scheme. . . much easier on the eyes.

Since you haven't specified what platform you are working on I will recommend options on what I use (Windows XP):

- Pythonwin extensions come with a lightweight IDE: http://www.python.org/download/releases/
- Eclipse with PyDev - if I feel like an IDE this is what I use (I usually just use a text editor like jEdit plus the command-line) http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/distributions/python.html

If you are on Linux there are some more options, like Eric - http://die-offenbachs.de/eric/index.html
