PyPE : a python programmer's editor [01/01/2007 16:04:49]

I found PyPE by accident last night. It's a text editor for python with some really nice features.

It's scintilla-based so it has nice code-folding features, and it also has macros, and a neat little tab that can show you all the functions and methods in a file. Lots of editors have this, but this one can be filtered, and it even shows the linecount for each method.

Normally I'd just stick to emacs, but the Shape class in wxOGL has over 100 methods, some of which, I now see, are 20-94 lines long.

I've looked at a lot of python IDE's, and never really saw the point. This is not an IDE - you can't even launch a python shell yet, but it is a nice editor, and definitely worth trying out.
