searching for IDE

[alexrait1]

I need an IDE for python that has the ability to show the filds of a
class when I write "."
Just the way it works in eclipse/JBuilder with java or visual studio
with c++
For now I treid eric3 and IDLE they don't do this...

if you are familiar with eclipse, you could use the PyDev python
plugin.

Try ActiveState Komodo. It costs $30 for a personal license, and is well
worth it. If you like visual studio you will like it.

Like many other people, I have looked far and wide for a Python IDE and this
is what I've found. The free solutions don't cut it, at least without
spending many many hours of work, more than $30 worth.

The ActiveState python editor (pythonwin?) does this.

Thanks for that reference. I had been using SPE for my Python editing,
but it's gone unmaintained as of late, so I've been looking for an
alternative. Aside from an autocomplete bug (which I've reported)
Pydev's been working great for me.

To be clear: ActivePython (ActiveState's distro of Python) includes the
PyWin32 extensions by default on Windows. PyWin32 is an open source set
of extensions for Python on Windows. The PyWin32 extensions include a
Python editor called Pythonwin.

ActiveState also has a product called Komodo that is an IDE for a number
of dynamic languages: Python, Perl, PHP, Tcl, etc.

For Visual Studio users, ActiveState also has a VS.NET plugin for Python
(Visual Python), and plugins for Perl and XSLT as well.

You should also check out eric3. It is cross-platform, free, very
advanced, and with a super active development community.

oops. I didn't see the part about you having tried eric3 already. For
your part, you may have missed the very good auto-completion tools
available for eric3. Look here:

Wing IDE gives you a completion drop-down whenever it can. You can try
the tool out with a free download from www.wingware.com if you want, and
both personal and full licenses are available.
