Python的几种开发工具

1 IDLE
1.1 IDLE是python创初人Guido van Rossum使用python and Tkinter来创建的一个集成开发环境。要使用IDLE必须安装python and Tkinter。
1.2 特性：自动缩进，彩色编码，命令历史(Alt+p,Alt+n)和单词自动(Alt+/)完成。
1.3 用IDLE执行Tkinter程序，不要在程序中包括mainloop。IDLE本身就是Tkinter应用程序，它会自动调用mainloop。再调用一次mainloop会与IDLE的事件循环冲突，造成运行时错误。

2 BlackAdder
2.1 BlackAdder支持windows and linux环境。用它创建的程序可在任何一种平台上运行，负责维护它的是TheKompany.com。他们发布了该软件的个人版，只提供有限的支持；以及专业版，需要许可，面向商业软件开发者。详情请访问www.thekompany.com/products/blackadder。

3 PythonWorks
3.1 它由SecretLabs公司发布，该公司致力于Python项目的开发与部署提供相应的工具。PythonWorks是一种“快速应用程序开发”（RAD）工具，程序员可借助它快速地创建、调试和发布程序。
3.2 PythonWorks包括一个HTML/XML编辑器、具有完全索引的文档、一个源码管理系统（用于项目分组）、自定义的代码编辑特性以及一个GUI布局编辑器。支持jython。
3.3 允许用户以多种形式对项目进行打包：源码形式、可执行程序形式以及.pyc形式。
3.4 有版权，需购买，详情请访问www.pythonware.com/products/works/index.htm

4 Wing IDE
4.1 Wing IDE由Archaeopteryx Software公司开发与支持，适用于windows and linux环境。它提供一个源码分析器和浏览器、项目管理能力以及文本编辑器和调试器。
4.2 它由python编写，并包含python源码。购买者可自定义源码，以适应自已的要求，但是，不可将修改过的代码用于赢利目的。
4.3 全功能演示版可在archaeopteryx.com/wingide下载。

5 Pythonwin
5.1 Pythonwin集成开发环境包含在由ActiveState出品的ActivePython中，ActivePython是一个二进制build。其中包括用于XML处理的expat模块，以及一系列windows工具。
5.2 提供的特性有：彩色编码、源代码折叠、单词完成及自动缩进。调试器支持事后诊断功能、标准的单步调试、断点设计及变量监视。
5.3 详情请访问aspn.activestate.com/activepython。

6 Komodo
6.1 ActiveState还为python提供了另一个IDE，名为Komodo，可用它在windows and linux上开发程序。Komodo最大的特点是，它是Perl,PHP,Tcl,HTML,XML AND XSLT的一种集成开发环境。

7 Boa Constructor
7.1 Boa是一个跨平台的python IDE和WxPython GUI。它提供可视化的编程和操作框架，能方便地进行程序的设计。它有一个对象浏览器，并提供有各种资源的视图，有一个html文档生成器，还有一个先进 的调试器和完整的帮助系统。Boa还提供对zope的支持，能添加、删除、复制、剪切、导入和导出zope中的对象。能编辑对象属性和进行python脚 本的调试。Boa是用python基于WxPython库编写的。 用起来就象vb或delphi一样方便。
7.2 下载地址是：http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/，要安装Boa要先安装合适版本的python和WxPython。

在windows平台我就是用pythonwin，感觉还不错，和idle差不多，在windows平台的可考虑用它。
