The author seems to imply that sublime does not qualify as a "serious" editor, and offers a link to quora as explanation, but the article there doesn't address what Sublime is missing at all.
>doesn't address what Sublime is missing at all. Being a fully programmable work environment. Edit: I used ST2 for about a month. The Python was neat but it's going to fade away eventually.
That's a lot of junk that doesn't have a lot to do with Python. Take a look here at my dotfiles to see how to use Rope/Ropemode/Ropemacs to get a Python-aware Emacs environment with the goodies that entails: https://github.com/bitemyapp/dotfiles/ Edit: Try to ignore or not be daunted by the other directories, my Emacs setup is well maintained but very old and has over 400,000 LOC.
I have a similar emacs setup with cedet, autocomplete, and whatnot, but I have one problem -- things like "evaluate this buffer" don't work when your python environment is on a remote server (due to work constraints I am obliged to do this). Files open fine over tramp, but a lot of things (python-mode, jedi, etc.) don't understand that they are interacting with a remote python shell. Is there any easy way that someon…
If you have a remote file open with Tramp, you can also get a shell open there with M-x shell. Try doing that, running python in that shell and renaming the shell buffer to Python . It might work :P. If that doesn't work, you might have to find the variable which specifies which buffer has the current running Python process. You should then be able to just change that to a remote shell as above. You can also automate…
I understand what you're saying in the rest of your comment though -- basically I will have to learn some elisp. Thanks for the help.

The way I get around that is running emacs on the remote server in screen/tmux. If there's a better way I'd love to know it, but I haven't found it to be too much of a problem.
My goal was to connect a local emacsclient to a remote emacs server over TCP... if this were possible, I would be fairly ecstatic.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have tried this, and it works fine... almost :) The only problem I have is that doesn't give you some of the GUI goodness. For example, I find CEDET's code folding incredibly useful when I want to get a bird's eye view of my modules, and the CLI version doesn't seem to support drawing the expandoes. Thanks for the tip though.
Can someone link a vim setup for python, for comparison puposes, perhaps with a short feature comparison? I'm currently a vim user with a fairly basic setup (I tried st 2 but couldn't figure it out for managing my work flow) , but I find the idea of emacs attractive.
The Emacs tutorial is a great place to start. Using Emacs is a bit of a paradigm shift in text editing, so you should expect a bit more work up front for great results later on. Going through the tutorial and learning the basic vocabulary and commands takes care of most of that up-front cost and should not take long. I think it took me less than two weeks of fairly casual use. Part of the beauty is that most of the t…
>> For some languages, Emacs is even the only option Which ones would those be? Common Lisp using SLIME?

(It's also a bit in flux as I migrate to tpope/vim-dispatch)
I can try elaborating feature-wise when I get home.
On a related note, emacs support for ipython notebook with ein ( http://tkf.github.io/emacs-ipython-notebook/ ) is marvelous. If you are comfortable with emacs, ein is far superior for interacting with your ipython notebook compared to the browser experience.
