Was there a special python editor most of the people here liked? ie. something different than just going in with a text tool?

Thanks! :)

Personally I've always used IDLE. Comes with python. (http://www.python.org/)

I don't think there's one editor most people like. There's enough out there (http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors) that each can find one they prefer.

OK thanks! Looks similar to what I use for xml editing (Ultra-edit).

I like Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm)
It's not python special, but it's enough for me.

Wow, that's nice and clean. Does it have a search and compare feature? ie. Load two different versions of same file to look for differing entreis.

I use Textpad (http://www.textpad.com/) for all editing needs, usually I need it for regex replacing, but it has sorting, comparing, etc...

I also used Notepad++ for Python editing. I used WinMerge when I need to compare two versions of a file. http://winmerge.org/downloads/index.php
