Choosing a Python IDE. what is your Pythonish recommendation? I do not know what to choose.

[Chris Clark]

I want an IDE that I can use at work and home, linux and dare I say windows.

Sublime, had to remove it from my work PC as it is not licensed.

Atom, loved it until it slowed down.

VIM, ok the best if you know vi inside out.

Any JAVA based IDE, just slows up on work PC's due to all the background stuff that corporates insist they run.

Why can not someone more clever than I fork DrPython and bring it up to date.

Its is fast, looks great and just does the job ?

Its wx, no idea if that is good or bad but it just works.

I want my IDE to be minimalistic but powerful. My screen should be mostly “made of code” as usually happens in Vim, Sublime or Atom. However, Pycharm is really cool and python oriented.

So now it is not an option but I will reconsider it in the future, learning little by little. Also, I am not very fan GUI guy if the task can be accomplished through the terminal. However, I don’t understand why people underrate GUIs, that said I normally use shortcuts for the most frequent tasks and when I have to do something that is not that frequent then I do it with the mouse, for the latter case in vim you would need to look for that specific command every time.

Also, what I like about sublime compared to the full featured IDEs, besides the minimalism, is how you can perform code navigation back and forth so fast, I mean this is something that you can also do with the others but for some subjective reason I specifically love how sublime does it. The code completion in sublime I do not find it very intelligence, the SublimeCodeIntel is better than the one that Anaconda uses but the completions are not as verbose as in the IDEs.

Hi Antonio,

Just an extra one in case you'll ever want to create
a nice GUI, then there's also QT Creator:

A very simple but powerful interface a la XCode...

It integrates nicely with PySide:
