Best IDE for Python

[Andre Meyer]

PyDev is really nice. I use it a lot and it works great.

It's just a bit heavy and why should one need a Java IDE for Python
development ;-)

Another "issue" is the lack of integration with a UML tool (code generation
and reverse engineering), though an ArgoUML plugin is in the making (not for
eclipse).


btw What Web/XML plugins are you using with eclipse?

Andre
