Ask YC: A good IDE for Python programming?
I am trying to get into python programming for the OLPC, and would like to know what a good IDE for it would be? I am an experienced developer so learning the language or OO is not a hurdle (although functional programming will be new but not difficult).<p>My other question is an environment one - the OLPC isn't geared up for full blown dev yet so I plan to develop on an Ubuntu VM and then package up an activity and deploy onto Sugar VM and then OLPC. I'm aware that Sugar Activities need to use custom python libraries but I don't know how I would approach getting those libraries into Ubuntu and whether it would work?<p>Currently looking at wing IDE as an option, I use eclipse a lot and have tried the Jython plug in. I'd like something with code completion and ease of use so not looking for suggestions around Vi or Emacs!
