What dev IDE do you use?

[argatxa]

I am curious about the project and was looking into getting my hands dirty on an open source project... but I have no idea what IDE to use...

Anjuta?

really, whatever you're comfortable with. i just use plain ol' gedit, or vim if there's no x. but if you want coding help, such as code suggestions, etc, then obviously that wouldnt work out for you. i'm very much a bare minimal kind of guy, so big ides like anjuta and eclipse tend to annoy me. you just have to find out what works for you

I'm an eclipse user, myself. Got introduced to it as the IDE of choice for my college department (the whole portability and extensibility thing makes it really nice as an IDE to introduce us students to I'm guessing, free to boot). They also have us using emacs here as our first IDE (pretty good, but can't imagine using it for the large projects they have us doing now in classes). If you're going to use eclipse to tinker with this project, you'll likely need to get the PyDev plugin, though I have mixed feelings about it's quality.

On that note, PyDev's python debugger is less than impressive to me. Can someone recommend another good debugger that can handle Python projects? This is the first Python project I've tried to tinker with, so I'm kinda new to the language.

I personally use jEdit ( http://www.jedit.org ) and have been for several years now. My biggest beef with it is that it's written in Java, but this also means that it works fairly easily on most platforms. It's got all the fancy stuff I want... syntax highlighting for a ridiculous number of languages, code folding, auto indent... and plugins for just about everything imaginable: source control integration, Python, PHP, Java, etc parsers and validators, diff viewers, hell there's even an IRC plugin and a sudoku solver plugin. With all the features and plugins it's got, it's sorta like (look out, flame war material!) a GUI-based emacs that doesn't suck.

gedit and a few terminal windows (tabs).
