Um, not a very helpful comment, but: it all depends on what the IDE does. Really, I'm happy using emacs for my development, but I still voted on for an IDE in the zopezen poll and on the spa^D^D^Dsurvey discussed late last week ;-) That's because I'm fed up of a few small things: - the old grep / cvs / cli dev tool problem - the hassle of making new products (it's not that hard, but nonetheless it'd be nice to have some stub-generating wizard thingums) - debugging. perhaps I'm going about it wrong, but I find debugging very frustrating, because each time I want to trace something, I have to start the server inside emacs, add a import pdb;pdb.set_trace(), find my bug, and then kill everything, remove the import statement and start again. (is that how others do it? perhaps I should start a new thread...) of course, these requirements could be met by a few changes to the Zope core and some cheap and cheerful scripts. so I don't really know if I want an IDE or not. I just want it to be easier to develop Zope products, and a really nice IDE should no exactly that. if it did, I'd pay, but I've not got much money ;) * Chris Withers <chrisw@nipltd.com> [010521 13:24]:
Maybe a joint project with PythonWare, using Tkinter?
Andy D here at NIP is working on the very beginnings of just such a thing ;-)
did you see shane's wxpython ZOBD browser? http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2001-April/010880.html cheers, seb.
