Suggestions, anyone?

I'm currently on Eclipse -- pretty OK, the only issue I have is that I can't manage to set the auto complete right. It can check for all fields and methods in that file, but not for those that I import.

Thanks in advance.

Pfft, do you really need auto-complete? But anyways, I can't help. I just use good old IDLE.

i've used Eclipse, IDLE, SPE, and emacs... and so far my favorite is emacs. SPE is really good, though, if you're into the feature-bloated IDE thing. For minor editing, i use emacs, but the tools it has comes in handy when I'm working on larger projects.

Something like PyScripter?

Multiply a gain of 30 seconds per use by the usage over a 40-year career. Seems silly when you're young, but you get a lot more time playing with sweetie instead of debugging into the night.

ROFLMFAO.... only DaWei would state such a true fact

That is... if it were actually saving you 30 seconds.

Auto-complete saves me no time. I type quickly enough that it makes no difference. I turn it off in any word processor that supports it (such as Open Office).

Hm... I'm actually refering to the ..erm.."intellisense" type of thing, where I can get the whole list of methods.

It saves me time in a sense that I do not need to open up the file, or refer to the API. I don't/can't memorize each method in a project that is so huge.

I'm trying out PyScripter at the moment. Looks cool -- I'll probably used it to replace my Eclipsse.

However, i still can't get the intellisense thing to work across files/modules that I import. I can only get the list of attributes from the file i'm typing on. Well, probably intepreted languages can't support that?

ZenMasterJG, where can I get SPE? I google-ed it, but can't find it.
