Django development IDE [closed]

Answer 1

PyCharm. It is best the IDE for Python,Django, and web development I've tried so far. It is totally worth the money.

Answer 2

I made a blog post about NetBeans' new and upcoming support for Django. When paired with its already fantastic Python, JavaScript, HTML and CSS support, it's a strong candidate in my mind!

Answer 3

I use Kate as well. Kate's simplicity is its biggest feature. It doesn't get in your way. (This is of course highly subjective opinion.)

Kate includes a Python code browser plugin. But it isn't useful IMO. No automatic updates when you change the code/view. Also when you update, the whole tree is collapsed, and you have to expand it again yourself. Too many clicks.

Instead, I use the Source Browser plugin that comes with Pâté. It does cause Kate to freeze temporarily sometimes, but no crashes or anything of that sort so far.

Shameless blog plug: more on using Django with Kate (Pâté)

Answer 4

Well, I've been using my own one. Recently they released an alpha version. Here it is at pfaide.com/.

Answer 5

I use Eclipse and a plain vanilla PyDev. There isn't any specific Django functionality. The best I came up with was setting up a run profile to run the development web server.

If you add the web tools project (WTP), you'll get syntax highlighting in your templates, but nothing that relates to the specific template language. PyDev is a decent plugin, and if you are already familiar with Eclipse and use it for other projects it is a good way to go.

I recall NetBeans starting to get Python support, but I have no idea where that is right now. Lots of people rave about NetBeans 6, but in the Java world Eclipse still reigns as the king of the OSS IDEs.

Answer 6

NetBeans for Python is my current favorite (lighter and so much easier to install than Eclipse I found). Supports simple refactoring, autocompletion, errors/warnings...

Eclipse Aptana PyDev probably one of the most complete free IDE nowadays (haven't tested a lot)

Wingware Python IDE a commercial IDE, which has some Django-specific project setup features the ability to debug Django template files.

IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition another commercial IDE which has also a plugin for Python that is under heavy development. I saw some demo which look very promising on the auto-completion (for templates and Python).

Vim which I still use a small touch-fix application. See also: Extra tweaks for Django.
