Would be nice to be able to selectively disable some PEP 8 rules in the style checker. I don't care about lines longer than 80 characters and I don't like separating functions by two empty lines.
But, PEP8, man. It's the LAW!

Ninja IDE: written in Python for Pythonists

Re: Ninja IDE: written in Python for Pythonists
#62Having very recently switched to Sublime Text 2 (from Komodo Edit), I'm curious if this offers anything that can't be done with Sublime + mature existing plugins...?
Does ST2 have a REPL? (This is no value statement. I honestly want to know.)

#63whats wrong with emacs ?
Nothing at all. Emacs is wonderful. But that says nothing at all about Ninja.

This is a very strange reason not to like a product. Care to elaborate why?
There's no such thing as a cross-platform GUI layer that doesn't suck. Qt comes the closest, and it has all sorts of platform-specific hacks in it, some even visible at the API level. If you're going to be writing something that's used as frequently and intensively as an IDE, then it had BETTER conform to the user interface guidelines of whatever OS it's running on. Those differ on Windows or Mac, and Linux doesn't r…
I used to think so, too. But then, IDEs and developers are kind of special.
IDEs are mostly just big rectangles full of text, which are eminently platform independant. Developers are special in that that we are very used to staring at terminals and logs, and are very accustomed to work with colored but unformatted text. Also, workflows tend to be very similar, across platforms and environments.
So that leaves us with not much reason for platform dependance, and thus Eclipse, Emacs/Vim/etc., and terminals. Even Visual Studio sports many things, but a native look is not among them. I guess XCode is the only really platform-dependant IDE I know. All the others could just as well run on different platforms or even do so.
So, umm, I respectfully disagree.

I'd guess it's due to KDE's general lack of popularity. Typically, nothing done under the KDE umbrella gets noticed.
I'm going to guess you're based in the US, because the two big Linux desktop camps are indeed somewhat split along the continents as far as mindshare goes. Makes me wonder about the exact breakdown by geographical area of the HN readership :).
I'm not based in the US and I rarely see people use KDE compared to other Linux DEs

#66It keeps crashing on me. I'm on Lion. :(
Looks good though. I thought it was going to be YET ANOTHER ECLIPSE distribution, but apparently it's not. It seems to be pretty fast. Hope they fix the crashing issue on Lion soon.

Am I the only one who uses PyDev?
One of the few. I am a PyDev user, but I have been migrating toward using ipython notebook for development and saving the code into .py files when I need to run in production. PyDev gets used to debug the resultant code when something goes wrong. PyDev seems to heavy to me when you need to write a standalone script and too buggy at evaluating module dependencies resulting in bad tooltips. Ipython notebook doesn't hav…
I agree about module dependency tooltips. I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one.

I haven't noticed that either, if only due to the fact that GNOME desktop (for some value of GNOME) always came by default with Ubuntu. (Yes, I'm aware of Kubuntu.)
Re: Ninja IDE: written in Python for Pythonists
#69It is FOSS (GPLv3). The license information was a wee bit hard to find (Wayyy down on the about page http://ninja-ide.org/about/ ) and I first thought it was some frankenstein freemuim product where you had to apply for a free license if you were an OSS devel (like PyCharm) etc. etc. I gave it a whirl: 1. Snappy, which is nice, since PyCharm can be sluggish on my Mac 2. No VCS integration 3. By default very strict co…
I would rather have developers work on the IDE than make yet another GUI interface for Git. You have the command line for that.
I think you mean "yet another GUI for Git."
"GUI Interface" expands to "Graphical User Interface Interface."
Sorry, I could not help myself.
Re: Ninja IDE: written in Python for Pythonists
#70The name of the IDE emphasizes that its not just yet another IDE, and yet I don't see anything new here, or any difference from existing IDEs, other than heavy Python support.
