Komodo suffers the exact same way most other editors suffer in that they try and guess the file type by the extension. One of the other editors I tried EditPlus has the exact same problem. The only editor I know of that does not have this problem is Boa Constructor because it has Zope specific code. Anyway back to Komodo: View -> View as Language -> Python But heres a neat trick: go to Edit -> Preferences the File Associations. By adding a new association of * to Python, files will open up as default in Python. Or, I use a general naming scheme in Zope of foo_dtml and foo_py so I have added _dtml as XML and _py as Python, _sql as SQL and so. Komodo has a bunch of other features of course: debugging, remote debugging of Zope, auto complete, syntax highlighting and so on. If you have any other comments: komodo-feedback@ActiveState.com would like to hear them.

I tried using Komodo as and IDE for ZOPE today, and it has a remote-files option (ftp, port 8021), and I can get my Zope Script Methods, but since they appear as "MyMethod" in ftp, not "MyMethod.py", they don't get syntax highlighted or anything else, so Komodo basically is a "notepad.exe with ftp capabilities" when used with Zope. Is that all there is?
Can anyone tell me of a decent syntax highlighted Python editor with better Zope support?
