Komodo Edit and Notepad++ ::: Pros & Cons ::: Python dev [closed]

Answer 1

If I had to choose between Notepad++ and Komodo i would choose PyScripter ;.) Seriously I consider PyScripter as a great alternative...

Answer 2

A downside I found of Notepad++ for Python is that it tends (for me) to silently mix tabs and spaces. I know this is configurable, but it caught me out, especially when trying to work with other people using different editors / IDE's, so take care.

Answer 3

I just downloaded and started using Komodo Edit. I've been using Notepad++ for awhile. Here is what I think about some of the features:

Komodo Edit Pros:

• You can jump to a function definition, even if it's in another file (I love this)
• There is a plugin that displays the list of classes, functions and such for the current file on the side. Notepad++ used to have a plugin like this, but it no longer works with the current version and hasn't been updated in a while.

Notepad++ Pros:

• If you select a word, it will highlight all of those words in the current document (makes it easier to find misspellings), without having to hit Ctrl+F.
• When working with HTML, when the cursor is on/in a tag, the starting and ending tags are both highlighted

Anyone know if either of those last 2 things is possible in Komodo Edit?
