ssh or other python editor

[martijn]

H!

I'm using a windows machine.
And a FreeBSD server where I run my python scripts.

I'm working/making my python scripts in a windows OS with putty now.
But I really want the python text colors and tab spacing like the
python windows IDE but the problem is that I can't find a good program.

Thanks

So you're using Putty to telenet/ssh into the FreeBSD server, but what
editor on you using on the FreeBSD server?

I use VIM on my Windows workstation to edit files on a linux server. I
have a network drive mounted to the linux server. Samba needs to be
running on the server. If the FreeBSD server has samba running, you can
mount a drive and use your Python Windows IDE.

If samba isn't available/set-up, you can try using FTP. You can then
use Crimson Editor which does the syntax coloring and can ftp to/from a
server.

I use pico for that.
That Samba isn't available but I can install it.

Or are there other editors for FreeBSD that I can run with putty ?

I'm going googling arround again,
Thanks.

are you guys for real?

is there any major text editor for Unix that doesn't support Python syntax
coloring and indentation these days?

googling arround give me a full list of python editors and other stuff

- I'm a newbie at freeBSD so I think there is , but I don't know where.
And i'm using putty on a windows OS what don't understand the syntax
coloring.

I just complained when someone included the entire message thread in their
replies, but not including anything at all is pretty annoying too.

coloring.

Putty isn't doing any syntax coloring; it just draws things in the color specified
by your editor. If you don't get any colors, it's probably because your editor
isn't properly configured. Explicitly setting the TERM variable to "xterm" might
help:

(but I'm pretty sure ssh does this for you, so it's probably an editor configuration
issue. checking the FAQ for your editor might be a good idea)

Jed, Emacs, and Vim all have Python modes. I'm sure most
decent programming editors do by now.

I use Emacs on my win32 workstation to edit files on my Linux servers
via SSH. There are at least two Emacs third-party modules ("modes") --
Tramp and Hobo -- that allow you to edit files over SSH.

I use Hobo (never tried Tramp, I think it's for XEmacs anyway). There
is a bit of setup. You'll need to use "pageant" and authenticate by
RSA/DSA key. See PuTTY's Web site; you may also need to do some
Googling to set up agent-based authentication. Note that pageant will
make PuTTY authenticate automatically as well, so it's easy to test
whether your pageant setup is correct, apart from any Emacs-related
issues.

You might also need to configure Hobo slightly; email me if you want my
configuration details (though I can't help you with the
pageant/authentication stuff, so get that done first .

Once you're done, you can load, edit and save files quite
transparently. Not everybody's cup of tea, but there you are.

According to the FAQ, putty sets it to xterm. I use xter-color on
FreeBSD.

If you need an FTP editor take a look at Zeus:

http://www.zeusedit.com/features.html

Zeus will do SSH, SSL/TLS and plain old FTP editing, with
support for Unix, Windows, VM and MVS FTP servers.

Just remember to setup your host configuration, otherwise
it will default to the FTP protocol.

But I really want the python text colors and tab
spacing like the python windows IDE but the problem
is that I can't find a good program.

Zeus does Python syntax highlighting, code folding, class
browsing, smart indenting, project/workspace management etc
etc.

You can even write Zeus macros in Pyhton

Note: Zeus is shareware (45 day trial).
