Am I the only one who uses PyDev?
- reinhardt 14y agoNo we're not.
- e1ven 14y agoI had bad experiences with Eclipse back years and years ago, but I'll try it again. It looks like there's a new release (Juno?)- That seems like a decent starting point.
- aleyan 14y agoOne of the few. I am a PyDev user, but I have been migrating toward using ipython notebook for development and saving the code into .py files when I need to run in production. PyDev gets used to debug the resultant code when something goes wrong. PyDev seems to heavy to me when you need to write a standalone script and too buggy at evaluating module dependencies resulting in bad tooltips. Ipython notebook doesn't have this problem because you evaluate code as you develop, so tooltips come from object introspection.
- johnobrien1010 14y agoI agree about module dependency tooltips. I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one.
- pacoverdi 14y agoPyDev user here too. Although I don't use it directly anymore but through Aptana. It works out of the box and also supports javascript/html/css/... so is ideal for developing webapps with a python backend. Ninja looks nice, but nothing I saw in the screencast makes me want to make the jump.
- pacoverdi 14y agoFinally, I might have to change my mind... There is a big difference with PyDev/Aptana that is not apparent in the screencast: its lightweightness! * it is a 1.3Mb download (vs 126Mb). * startup time is ~2s (vs 30+ seconds) * memory footprint is ~28Mb after startup (vs 400Mb) Now I'll definitely try it. Update: the memory quickly jumped to ~120Mb usage, hope it's not a memory leak.
