Sorry for a silly subject change: A better one will be welcome -- cant think of a name myself.
There is this whole area of python that may be called the non- programming side of programming: Is there some central site where all such is put up? What if any should such a bundle of things be called? ------------------------------------------------- | Area | Tool(s) | |------------------+------------------------| | packaging | distutils, setuptools, | | | distutils2, distribute | | | Native tools (eg apt) | | versioning | hg, git, bzr | | multiple pythons | virtualenv | | ?? | tox | | testing | unittest, nose, pytest | | build | scons, make... | | deployment | fabric | ------------------------------ * Primary Development tools/aids 1. Help 2. Completion ('intellisense') 3. Tags (Jumping) 4. Refactoring 5. Integration with 'non-programming' above (eg VCSes, packagers etc) * Other Development Tools - Debugger - Profiler - Heap Profiler - Coverage -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
