Python just some questions about it.

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone on here has used python. I want to create a program to handle some stuff in my table top RPGs, and that language was suggested to me as a good combination of speed and ease of learning. What do people on here think? Have any of you used python before? if so, what is a good IDE for mac, if you know?

I use python to program kiosks: music automat, BlackJack game and so on. To access low level devices i use SWIG to easely build wrappers around C code.
As for now i don't use any IDE, but heard about eclips python plugin.

I remember I just played around with Python, I just didn't like it or rather didn't have so much time to play with it that I cold get addicted to do something with it, but I was using Notepad2 due to I didn't need anything else, but here is a good resource site/page/wiki for the available Python IDEs: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

This is an old topic but ...
...Python is probably a very good choice for what you've described. If you have limited programming experience, its a very good language to start with. Its easy to learn and very intuitive (also no variable declarations or curly brackets!), but can be very powerful as well.

If anyone does decide to get into Python, I'd recommend using Eclipse with the PyDev plugin. You probably won't find yourself needing anything more than what is offered with it.
