IBM DeveloperWorks has
a nice article up about Python development with Eclipse and Ant.
This makes me pretty happy because I had been looking for a decent way to use
Python with Eclipse and it looks as though there finally is one. The question
now is, do I want to remain a preacher in the Church of Emacs, or should I
backslide and start using Eclipse?
On the plus side, I can use Emacs over a telnet/ssh session. I suppose I could
with Eclipse too, but it would be horribly slow. Also, I believe that Emacs
has better key bindings, or at least ones that I’m more used to. However,
one thing that I really wish Emacs had was code completion. It makes it a lot
easier for writing code. Usually when playing with a new Python library, I
end up having to use an instance of IPython or PyAlaMode to get the information.
