Introduction to several Python development tools

1 idle
1.1 idle is an integrated development environment created by Guido van rosum, a beginner in Python, using Python and tkinter. To use idle, Python and tkinter must be installed.
1.2 features: Automatic indent, color encoding, command history (Alt + P, ALT + n), and automatic word (Alt +.
1.3 Use idle to execute the tkinter program. do not include mainloop in the program. Idle itself is a tkinter application that automatically calls mainloop. When you call mainloop again, it will conflict with the idle event loop, resulting in a runtime error.

2 Blackadder
2.1 Blackadder supports Windows and Linux environments. Programs created with it can run on any platform and are responsible for maintaining thekompany.com. They released the Personal Edition of the software, which only provides limited support; and the Professional edition, which requires a license for commercial software developers. For more information, visit www.thekompany.com/products/blackadder.

3 pythonworks
3.1 released by secretlabs, the company is committed to the development and deployment of Python projects to provide corresponding tools. Pythonworks is a fast application development (RAD) tool that allows programmers to quickly create, debug, and publish programs.
3.2 pythonworks includes an HTML/XML editor, a fully indexed document, a source code management system (for project grouping), custom code editing features, and a GUI layout editor. Jython is supported.
3.3 allow users to package projects in multiple forms: source code, executable program, and. PyC.
3.4 you are entitled to copyright and need to purchase it. For details, visit www.pythonware.com/products/works/index.htm.

4 Wing ide
4.1 wing IDE is developed and supported by Archaeopteryx software and is applicable to Windows and Linux environments. It provides a source code analyzer and browser, project management capabilities, and a text editor and debugger.
4.2 It is compiled by Python and contains the Python source code. Purchasers can customize source code to meet their own requirements. However, modified Code cannot be used for profit purposes.
The 4.3 full-featured demo version can be downloaded at archaeopteryx.com/wingide.

5 pythonwin
5.1 The integrated development environment of pythonwin is included in activepython produced by ActiveState. activepython is a binary build. This includes the expat module for XML processing and a series of Windows tools.
5.2 provides the following features: Color encoding, source code folding, word completion, and automatic indentation. The debugger supports post-event diagnosis, standard single-step debugging, breakpoint design, and variable monitoring.
5.3 For details, visit aspn.activestate.com/activepython.

6 Komodo
6.1 ActiveState also provides another IDE named Komodo for python, which can be used to develop programs on Windows and Linux. Komodo is an integrated development environment for Perl, PHP, TCL, HTML, XML and XSLT.

7 BOA Constructor
BOA 7.1 is a cross-platform Python IDE and wxpython GUI. It provides a visual programming and operation framework to facilitate program design. It has an Object Browser and provides a view of various resources, an HTML document generator, an advanced debugger and a complete help system. BOA also supports Zope to add, delete, copy, cut, import, and export Zope objects. You can edit object attributes and debug Python scripts. Boa is written in Python Based on the wxpython library. It is as convenient as VB or Delphi.
7.2 yes: http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/. to install BOA, first install the python and wxpythonof the compatible environment.

On the Windows platform, I use pythonwin, which is similar to idle. You can use it on the Windows platform.
