Searching for online Python IDE

Question

Subj. I seeking IDE with following features:

Support for Python standart library(at least most of it)
Support for files and importing modules from files
Access to network
Lightweight & fast

@JoranBeasley. As it should. The question invites too much subjectivity to be useful. — Steven Rumbalski, Sep 12 '12 at 17:46

I used Wingware when I was developing Python for Google App Engine several years ago:

I use Aptana, it is based on Eclipse, but comes out of the box with pydev for Python integration, and is good if you want to develop Django/GAE applications

ninja ide is lightweight and fast and does all that... and its free

(but Eclipse+PyDev wins hands down for sheer awesomeness and power, but loses on lightweight and fast..)

I used to use Cloud9 but decided desktop IDEs are more convenient

I understand you are looking for something along the lines of PythonAnywhere.

developers should not suffer, ssd is a must. Eclipse framework is pretty lightweight if it doesn't have all the Java DEV BS ontop. – 1054211 Sep 12 '12 at 17:16

IDLE that ships with Python usually can do it for my use cases. When you first open it you get the repl, but File > New Window will give you a file to edit. Save that file as a .py file and f5 to run.

I think it addresses your lightweight and fast requirement.

does idle fix inconsistent use of tabs/spaces? thats one of the most useful features in a python ide imho ... – Joran Beasley Sep 12 '12 at 17:15
1

It uses 4 spaces instead of tabs (when you type a tab), and does a pretty good job indenting. So to answer you I would say it forces (transparently to the user) consistent use of tab/spaces. It will not fix an indent of 5 spaces when you've been using 4 for example. – Chris Everitt Sep 17 '12 at 17:06

JetBrains makes the best IDEs on the market, hands down. Check out PyCharm.

I really like pycharm for django projects... (Is there a way to get linkbacks to where something was defined like in eclipse?(eg hover over class name and be able to link to the class declaration) – Joran Beasley Sep 17 '12 at 17:10
I just type "shift N" and enter the class name. PyCharm will bring me right to the source. – duffymo Sep 17 '12 at 17:23
