Emacs23 trunk + Ropemacs trunk + AutoComplete trunk + Autopairs trunk Platform - MacOSX - Ubuntu - Python 2.6 Pros - No rigid directory structure - Unmatched indentation mode (autofill) - Good backup editor - You can hack your IDE anyway you want easily Cons - Pymacs + Ropemacs are quite slow at pretty much anything - Emacs Pinkies - Ropemacs' focuses way more in refactoring (which I rarely use) than code analysis and automatic imports and auto-completion, so the later 2 major features are lacking quite a bit - Pymacs and Ropemacs have basically 2 people working on it, and an extremely small user-base. Eclipse 3.6 + Pydev 1.6.4 Platform - Same as above Pros - Fairly accurate code analysis, type-checking, auto-completion, syntax highlighting and import organization - Very good VCS, build tools, issue tracking integration - Has some very modern and very convenient editing shortcuts - Has unit testing support Cons - Can be slow at times - Monstrous memory hog - Rigid project structure, launch options and build options - Still have to drop back to the term for virtualenv, pip and other tools - Not so good at filling columns - Some people just prefer to type commands then click buttons
