Free Python IDE ?

[Ernesto]

I'm looking for a tool that I can use to "step through" python software
(debugging environment). Is there a good FREE one (or one which is
excellent and moderately priced ) ?

Try eric3 (http://www.die-offenbachs.de/detlev/eric3.html). It is a
Python IDE with batteries included and it is free.

Hi Ernesto

SPE, or Stani's python editor is actually a decent IDE that can lauch
the winpdb debugger to step through code, with side windows for locals,
and watches and so on. It's not exactly integrated debugging a la
Delphi, but in general my need for debugging is much less with python;
the few times I have needed debugging, SPE did the job well.

I also like that SPE automatically checks my code with tabnanny and
pychecker. That way I don't have to do anything extra to use these
tools.

Oh, and SPE is free.

Keep well
Caleb

Ernesto,

If you are using Windows then you migt consider PyScripter.

Good free: PyDev for Eclipse.
Good moderately priced: Komodo.

But from my long experience with Python, you rarely need a debugger,
since most of time your program will work as expected, if you had good
algorithm. Treat it as a language feature - you don't need to debug good
algorithms in Python.

This is not an 'IDE', it's a debugger.

Is there a good FREE one

Strange enough, I almost never had a use for a debugger in 5+ years of
Python programming.

Try searching this newsgroup for "python ide", "editor" and such and you'll get
plenty of good advice. This topic is discussed about once every week or so.

Cheers!
