Re: [pygame] Python IDE for windoz

The main reason I don't use IDLE is because I have had issues in the
past with it's runner locking things up. Also editing more than one
file at a time is a bit painful. I switched to SciTE for non-ide
programming after about 2 years of using IDLE and never looked back.
That said, IDLE is more competent than it is often given credit for.

I definitely agree with you about some IDE features being overkill and
slowing things down instead of speeding them up.
