Shucks I havve been all over www.python.org and could not find any , Will go back and look for it or soem refrence to it.
Hope some one will stumble on the thread who has used any of these.
I havn't tried it, but Python has a couple of IDE's going. One is listed at python.org, and the other is called BOA and is listed on freshmeat. BOA seemed to look like Visual Basic in it's screenshots.
Samy et al, I've been using the Python IDE (called Idle). It is quite good, but lacks some of the features (like dot-notation) of the Win version (called PythonWin). As well as teaching at the local TAFE College, I'm also studying programming. We started with VB (sorry!), then went on to Python. As a language, I have to say that Python is by far the better of the two, though VB has the RAD part down to a tee. I read an interesting quote the other day about VB - " It creates average programmers. Anyone with a minimum of ability can build an average program with it, but someone with far greater ability is restricted to building average programs by the inherent limitations built into it." I'll take "the Snake" anyday!
what I found lacking in python is that it lacks xwin suport , database dooks and mosltly component based aproach , hence I am leaning to java / jbuilder as its rad , and just drop and connect components ect.. It is a little more involved than say pyhthon but is a real rad tool. I am realy short on time as well , and figure I can carry most of what I learn to c/c++ if I ever want to go down that raod.
