I never really liked gedit; when I first switched my primary development platform to Linux (from working on OS/2 and Windows), it was an Ubuntu, and I felt that gedit was less than satisfactory. The second GUI editor I tried was SciTE, which IMHO is distinctly superior. Mainly, though, I don't use any sort of IDE per se; the only "IDE-like" feature in my setup is SciTE's F7 key binding to run 'make', and then a properly-configured makefile in every directory that I work in. Between that and a terminal window for git commands, there's not really much more to look for in a development environment. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
