I had problems installing pydev because of mylin/mylar. These forums had the same issue a few days ago, see http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/59394feeada558fd I was considering eclipse because I believe that eclipse gives good refactoring support. [And a client wanted it!] But then I found that eclipse uses pydev for python. And python uses bicycle repair man -- which is what emacs uses for refactoring! So might as well stay with emacs. To substantiate what Bruno says: The USP of python is that its an interpreter -- you can learn python by playing around without an elaborate compile-link-test-edit cycle. The USP of emacs (in this context) is its support for inferior interpreters along with good editing support. Hence the combo is quite hard to beat. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
