Comment on Ask HN: Getting back into Python

Comments

Not any more indentation than code in any other language (you indent anyway, whether that's enforced or not).

Python has IDLE (which is cross-platform), but I prefer writing with Sublime Text(on Ubuntu).

Here's a list for you:

Good luck, codr.

Thanks!

By "indentation" I meant using that for conditional blocks, instead of the C-style bracketing that I'm used to.

I found that list of IDEs, but basically what I'm asking is what are people's favorites from that list?

I understand, codr.. But even in C, conditional blocks have an opening brace next to the statement (like if, while, switch, etc), then new line, then indented code, then new line for the closing brace.

For your choice of IDEs, I think looking for it in SO or Reddit would yield good results, since it's probably a question asked often, so I guess you'll find nice fat threads with pros and cons to help you make up your mind..
