It is indeed rather nice. However I just started using PyCharm and it's on a whole other level: http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/ http://www.jetbrains.com/pycha

  I tried both, why do you prefer PyCharm? Personally I like the Visual Studio IDE. The main concern I found with the VS extension is that is using 1/4 of the CPU all the time but with PyCharm I saw a similar behavior.

    [ptvs proj lead here] - thanks wslh! is the cpu really going at 25% the entire time? this should definitely /not/ happen. what will happen is that when you 1st install PTVS the analyzer will run in the background for a while until the completion database is ready for pkgs you've installed. after that it should be incremental as you add new pkgs. the initial analysis may take a while if you have a very large distro (15-45m) & run up the cpu. but after that it should be pretty flat. if you could file an issue w the list of your pkgs (if possible) we can look into it. bugs: http://pytools.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic http://pytools.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic thx!

      I saw similar issues from other users: https://pytools.codeplex.com/workitem/1042 https://pytools.codeplex.com/workitem/1042 I have "big" packages such as NLTK. Do you recommend to leave the Visual Studio open for a while?

        NLTK itself shouldnt take thaaat long, but if you have a large distro that includes the kitchen sink, it could take ~ an hour +/- depending on your machine. the reward is you get really deep intellisense, not just basic completion. the bug you linked is fixed btw.
