Searching for the ideal IDE for wxPython applications
I’d like to start a brief discussion on the following topic: What tools/IDE’s are you folks using to develop/debug wxPython applications?
Is there already an FAQ somewhere concerning this topic?
I’m curious about commercial as well as free applications. I’m also curious about various platforms: Windows, MAC, and Linux in particular.
I’ll start off with my current situation:
I’m primarily developing on and for Windows. My favorite editor is SciTE, but occasionally I’ve had it crash when trying to execute a python application. For this reason, I execute the application outside of the editor. For difficult debugging, I use Pythonwin, which I’ve found can be used to debug wxPython apps, but only with a single execution of the app. After the app exits, I have to restart Pythonwin, or it will crash by itself. Other than this annoying problem, pythonwin works okay for me. Often, it’s not worth opening up Pythonwin, so I’ll just use print statements to debug. I’ve also occasionally been using wxDeveloper for laying out dialog boxes.
I look forward to your feedback,
Matthew
Searching for the ideal IDE for wxPython applicationsWing IDE. Worth the $ a hundred times over!
Big advantage: executes your app in another
process. Idle and Pythonwin do not; AFAIK.
Wing IDE does not have a dialog editor, I use
wxDesigner.

wxdesigner = www.roebling.de
