    Trying to find a good IDE to start learning Python. Biting the bullet to see what I can do with the language. Anyone know of the best Development Environments available?

    Did you try googling for it? https://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments

    I use Tiger Jython to develop some simple scripts.

    Thought I'd give Ninja IDE a try and see how it fears out for now. I'm just getting started with the language, so if I stick with the IDE, that's another thing.

    Most of my pythoning is done in a text editor (sublime), but I've tried pytools with visual studio, and it seemed like a really nice python environment. Might be worth looking into.

    Let me know what you think of ones you try, I've just used a text editor as I found that fine.

    All I've ever used for the little python dev work I've done is vim. IDEs are nice, but DDEs are fine too...

    Hard to beat vim, but pycharm is the best IDE I've used, from the same guys as intellij.

    The way I see it, you can code by hitting a dead squirrel off the monitor if it works for you and doesn't make everyone else's life a misery. Just don't impose the dead squirrel methodology on people who work better using other methods, like hitting a dead hamster off the USB port.

    It's only when you're actually teaching students that the IDE/DDE/toolsInGeneral question has a different answer (namely, put away the dead rodents and learn using the most basic discrete tools possible; you can then use dead rodents afterwards and understand things far better because you've got a better foundation). But I don't think that holds if, say, you're an experienced C programmer who's looking to learn Python as a new skill. In that case, we're back to use whatever makes life easiest for you.

    And maybe get an air freshener, because dead rodents stink.

    Must try out pycharm, looks nice and all I've been using is gedit and vi/m. And boy do I dislike vi/m.

    As always there's a relevant XKCD:
