So many things that need to be decided....

[Maurice LING]

Hi,

It seems that you are just starting on Python, same as my situation a 
year ago. After almost going down the same route as you do, I tell 
myself.... just start on something. You can decide on everything but by 
the time you've decided, everything changes again.

Initially, I started on Java then came to Python. Ok, now you've decided 
on Python, GUI library and Editor isn't an issue. Despite all the 
negativities with PyDev with Eclipse, I am still using it.

I really don't see why you should lay everything in stone before you 
start. Things may or may not fall into place. Worry about it when it 
worries you.

Good luck.

Cheers
maurice
