I read it too. I always preferred Netbeans + their Python plugin over Eclipse and PyDev.
Perhaps I have another look for working with Aptana + PyDev for my web development stuff, but I am afraid this enviroment (and the base, Eclipse as it's main reason) is as user unfriendly as it always was. But long years there was no other choice than Eclipse - Netbeans wasnt the IDE it is now - and so the people started to build plugins for Eclipse even being aware of its shortcomings. I think I check out Activestates Komodo IDE. I recognized that I use their free Komodo Edit more often lately and liked the Editor already, perhaps the IDE will be a good choice. I've seen right now, they put on the topic: http://www.activestate.com/blog/2011/03/netbeans-drops-python-support-komodo-adds-more Infoworld awarded it as best Python IDE, testing: Boa Constructor, Eric, ActiveState's Komodo, Oracle's NetBeans, Aptana's Pydev, PyScripter, SPE, Spyder, and WingWare's Wing IDE. And if all fails, remember, there is always vim to fallback :) On Mar 24, 4:32 pm, Kees Bakker <s...@altium.nl> wrote: > Hi, > > Sad news (for me, at least), in the upcoming version 7.0 of NetBeans > there will be no Python plugin anymore. > > I have been using NetBeans for Python development for a while now > and I was very happy with it. > > See this archive for > details:http://netbeans.org/projects/www/lists/nbpython-dev/archive/2010-11/m...http://netbeans.org/projects/www/lists/nbpython-dev/archive/2011-01/m... > -- > Kees -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
