Looking for a Python IDE like NetBeans

Expand Post »
Hi! I've searching for python IDE's and I've not found anything like NetBeans for java. I downloaded Dr Python but was too simple, I tried to install PyDev on Eclipse but I got some errors. I saw some screenshots about SPE and I said whoa! that seems good, but I couldn't install it because of the SVN stuff(SPE doesn't have a msi or something similar).

So I'm looking for a IDE well-decorated (Eclipse), which can draw GUI's (NetBeans) and easy to install (a setup.exe, msi...). I work on a windows XP.


Please Help!!!, I prefer python than java, but sometimes I have to work in java because of the commodity of the IDE.

Thank you very much!!!

Re: Looking for a Python IDE like NetBeans

There is Boa Constructor (similar to Delphi) that uses wxPython as the GUI toolkit (you need wxPython isstalled first), free download from:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/boa....4.4.win32.exe

There is also wxGlade, just frame builder/designer, also using wxPython:

Re: Looking for a Python IDE like NetBeans

The frame builder wxGlade comes with Stani's Python Editor (SPE). You can still get a free download of SPE 0.8.3c, the Python IDE for Movable Python at:
http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/839343
Downloads as spe-0.8.3c.zip, and should work with Python 2.3 - 2.5. Simply extract the '_spe' directory into your Python 'lib' folder. You can then run 'spe.pyw' from there. Again, you need the wxPython GUI toolkit installed first for SPE to work!

Re: Looking for a Python IDE like NetBeans

Hi! I'm trying Boa and I get the "'module' object has not attribute 'NotebookSizer'" error, when I run Boa.pyw, it appears me that message and the initializer stops. Do you know how I could solve it?

Re: Looking for a Python IDE like NetBeans

Which version of wxPython do you have installed?
I am having the same problem on my newest computer.

Re: Looking for a Python IDE like NetBeans

By the way, I've installed SPE (thanks for the link and the explanation), but I'm wondering if it has the "Ctrl + Space" funtion of Eclipse and Netbeans, which if you do for example:

objectFoo.


it appears to you a list of the methods of that object and a brief description of them. I've tried in spe something like

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()

root. #waiting here for a list of methods...but nothing appears



Have I to turn on something on SPE to get the marvelous Ctrl + Space funcion?

Thanks!

Re: Looking for a Python IDE like NetBeans

You can type in the SPE Python shell
help('Tkinter')

python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. from Tkinter import *
  2.  
  3. root = Tk()
  4.  
  5. root.

Actually an IDE called PyScripter has this feature. The moment you type the dot a dropdown list of possible choices appears.

Re: Looking for a Python IDE like NetBeans

There is Boa Forum at:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.p...&forum_id=5483

They might be defunct?

Re: Looking for a Python IDE like NetBeans

Sorry, I have not used Boa Constructor for a while. It seems like they have had major recent upgrade at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/downl...p.exe&74856058

That one installs well and works with Python25 and wxPython28, even on a Vista machine. I am testing it out now.
