Python IDE for Mac OS X?

Posted by Cliff on from the fruits-and-snakes dept.

benbranch asks: "I am presently learning the Python programming language. The language itself is brilliant and seems very easy to pick up, however my problem is finding a decent IDE. I use Mac OS X (as Windows is excruciating), and though I love Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) all my work computers are Mac's. Can anyone advise me as too a good open source IDE for Mac? If there are any Python programmers out there using Macs, I would love to hear from you."

    The first thing you need to do before starting to code is learn how to find a suitable IDE without the help of millions.
    After you manage to overcome this incredibly complex problem (by performing a google search),you can try to install the IDE by yourself. If you can do that, you can start hoping that the code you'll write will actually do something useful for humanity.

    I mean, come on... Soon we'll see questions like "I want to program in machine code, which is the best MS-DOS?".

    Do your research, try them out, decide for yourself, then write a review for others to see.
