I recommend Gvim, although it takes time to configure and tune it. As for uploading, simply run a devserver locally and then after a few days (or a week) of work, upload everything in bulk, perhaps using a version control system. Basic use of version control is actually very easy to pick up and the nice bonus is that you can clean up code as needed, deleting parts that you don't use anymore, without fear of losing them: you can always go back in history and retrieve it. This leads to cleaner code IME. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group. To post to this group, send email to django-users@googlegroups.com.
