[SciPy-User] Python and Eclipse

[Nathaniel Polish]

I suppose that I was asking a style and taste question.  There are lots of 
environments -- some are in use for historical reasons -- some are more 
modern.  I for example have been known to write c code in emacs, compile 
with gcc and debug in gdb.  I would never recommend it to anyone under the 
age of 40 since IDEs such as Eclipse are better in just about every way.

I was looking for recommendations for development environments that are 
considered by the community to be "modern".
