[Jython-users] Re: What are Jython folks using to edit?

[John M. <mcg...@re...>]

The Emacs python-mode package is great. It's included with XEmacs, and=
 perhaps others, and can be downloaded from=
 http://python.org/emacs/python-mode/. It features syntax coloring,=
 auto-indent, and other stuff, and it will start a Python session in its=
 own buffer within emacs. It should be possible to make Jython your default=
 Python for this, though I don't, since I use both Python and Jython, and I=
 prefer to leave Python as the default for the Python shell, and run Jython=
 in a standard shell buffer. Either way, emacs is a cool environment to run=
 python in because (among other reasons) you can save your session for=
 future reference as a text file.

Re: NetBeans: I've tried using it for Java coding, and it's fine, but I=
 suppose I always use XEmacs for real stuff because I'm familiar with it=
 and it has great features and is fully customizable, and it requires no=
 mouse use if you don't want to.

I guess JED (an emacsish editor) also has a python mode, from what I've=
 read. It's supposed to be simialr to the Emacs python-mode.
