[Numpy-discussion] ide for python/numpy/scipy/mpl development ?

[Eric E. <ems...@ob...>]

Hi,

I am looking for an IDE to develop python programs  and I am not sure
what to take.
The two critical items for me are 1/ a good debugger (simple and
efficient) 2/ something simple to manage the files.

I would also very much like to keep some basic things such as (if possible):
- editing with gvim
- running things with Ipython -pylab

So the question is: does such an IDE exists? I have looked through a
number of them, but they look either very complex or too simple.

Any advice here is very welcome!

thanks, and cheers

Eric

This probably is the most limiting factor. I use pida because it embeds gvim 
into a PyGTK frame with all of the IDE goodies around it.

   http://pida.berlios.de/

I believe it can use one of the PyGTK debugger GUIs, but I've never used it.

Pida looks nice, thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately, the mercurial
support needs editing to make it work at a basic level. To make pida really
work right for distributed repositories looks trickier because distributed
version control doesn't necessarily have a central repository while the
current pida interface looks to be based around that concept.

Can this be installed under Windows?
(Looks unlikely.)

It might be possible if you have a Windows build of PyGTK, but not with the gvim 
integration. However, pida also supports other PyGTK-accessible editor widgets. 
See its documentation for details.
