Komodo's a great IDE. PTVS also has a free edition that does everything minus profiling.

Forgot to answer part of your question - the Linux/MacOS Client Libraries are a set of Python bindings for the services that Azure provides. They're hosted on Github here: https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-python ; and you ca

Sorry i should have been more clear. I meant that you can take advantage of PTVS's editor/intellisense/template debugging facilities for Django, but then take further steps to push to another cloud yourself. Some folks have used PTVS this

David, our group funded that effort (development by Enthought) and the code is still out there and mostly functional, but it really never got traction. The 1st phase involved major surgery on the NumPy/SciPy libraries which they needed any

Thanks! PyCharm, Wing, KDevelop, IPython, Komodo, ... are all pretty darn good, each with its own strengths. It's a good time to be a Python developer!

Thanks! Would love to get your feedback. Note that you can use PTVS for Django development/debugging & then push to a cloud of your choice (ie, not Azure) as well. See this link for some info: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop

Hmmm... have you filed a bug on this? We're generally pretty responsive (you'll be talking directly to the dev team, not msft support). If you could include a repro that'll be perfect. thx.

As Dino said it's not trivial, but one of the reasons we fought hard for open sourcing it was to make PTVS a Real World sample in case someone else wants to do a plug-in for their language. We know of at least two major companies that are

Yup! We're big fans of IPython. So much so that we collaborated with them on two front2: IPython on Azure (w a Linux or Windows backend): https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/python/tutorials/... and directly incorporating its REP

It really depends on your definition of decent :). It's built on on VS, so if you're looking for something extremely lightweight (eg editor++) this isn't it. OTOH, it has many advanced features such as really good intellisense, MPI debuggi

You know, I don't have a good answer... I was going to host it on another page on codeplex, but my teammate insisted on something w a direct link & no misc. stuff around it. I'll use your comment & tell him "Seeee!" :).

Hi folks, if you happen to be on Windows & enjoy Python, please check out our latest release of PTVS. It's a free/OSS plug-in for VS which supports CPython, IronPython, and the usual Edit/Debug/Profile/etc. now with Django & Clien

what a pleasant surprise to see our little OSS project mentioned/used... surprised as this is a Windows/VS Python IDE & they're running Linux on the nodes - http://pytools.codeplex.com

re IronPython/IPython: it's on the list of things i'd like to fund the IPython team to do, though there have been bigger fish to fry during the past year... most recently getting IPython on to Windows Azure & Visual Studio. It shouldn't

This is great guys! We cooked up a similar thing called Pyvot (pivot). It's OSS/Apache - feel free to take/contribute. Cheers, smortaz@microsoft. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi3QKuFugWk&hd=1 edit - link to project: http:

The author mentions that C# has a nice IDE (Visual Studio). I'd like to mention that a couple of OSS & Python enthusiasts at msft have produced one for Python as well (free/apache 2.0). It supports both CPython and IronPython, along wi

CC are pioneers & we have a lot of respect for them. We'd be delighted if we grew to a 10th of their user base. But i can assure you that we came up w the mobile junk mail zapper idea entirely on our own. edit: clarification.

Yup! We've made the Name/Adrs field editable so you can temporarily change to grandma's name/adrs, zap her mail away & reset to yours. Next version will have multiple stored adrs support. thx & will make that more prominent.

Thx jgeerts - essentially junk mail can be put into to two broad categories: ones for which your name appears on a "list" somewhere & ones that are carpet bombed across zip codes/routes. The former has a pretty decent chance -- pretty h

by smortaz 15y ago
This is valid criticism & mostly true. Note that for most zip code or route delivered junk mail, they'll be marked as AutoFail internally & show up on your phone under the "Failed" tab. However, we'll provide you company info so yo

Actually in the next major update it will be able to do that for some things. ie, you can select what you receive in paper form, & what to receive in your email box. So you can revert & say 'bring back paper V.S.'! Essentially yo

Dang. The general HN feedback seems to be: great idea, lousy initial messaging :). Back to the drawing board. Thanks for the feedback - will update.

Thanks atacrawl. Neither of us is designer and we've received the msg loud & clear from HN that we've got some work to do in that department! Will take all your feedback to heart. Updates coming soon.
