Had my first experience of Python during the week. I'm wondering what is the best open source and IDE and testing environments I could get my hands on? I can get my hands on manuals to aid in my own learning no hassle, so that won't be a problem.

Aptana Studio 3, the pydev plugin is a good open source IDE, I'd use Jenkins if you want to perform integrated testing

Thanks Seridisand

An interesting read on Python development in Visual Studio from one of my favourite bloggers in the MS world – http://www.hanselman.com/blog/OneOfMicrosoftsBestKeptSecretsPythonToolsForVisualStudioPTVS.aspx

I've been meaning to have a look into it myself.

As well, O'Reilly have a good set of beginner books on Python for starters.

Pycharm is pretty good, and not too expensive (~80e).

You can go a long way with just a good editor (e.g. vim) because you write a lot in not much python.

Also, and this is a bad point against python, the IDEs, in my experience, are not nearly as important as in Java; because of the fact that python is more dynamic, the code inspection, refactoring etc isn't as deep or useful as with Java IDEs.

I think the tradeoff is still worth it for using Python, but it'd be better if the tools were better.

This is why I think that languages like Python are only transitional...

Could use sublime, or something like eclipse/netbeans.

For python I find gedit/vim fine.

If you're still interested, JetBrains have just released a Community Edition of PyCharm. It's probably the best Python IDE available, if you prefer an IDE vs. VIM/EMACS/Sublime.

+1 for pycharm. Don't let the fact that it's actually java turn you off.
