[yt-users] Python IDEs

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Sam,

I started out in vim a long time ago; for a couple months several
years ago I used Komodo (with vim keybindings) but nowadays I use vim
exclusively with the NERDTree plugin and the MiniBufExplorer plugin,
along with some autocomplete I don't usually use.  This lets me keep
lots of different files open in splits/buffers and whatnot inside a
single terminal window.  I run it inside GNU screen, which has the
vertical-split patch applied, and I do side-by-side or top-to-bottom
terminal / script / python (or bpython) sessions.

I seem to recall somebody was using PyDev for yt development, but it
has slipped my mind who.  I've wanted to try out newer IDEs, like
PyCharm and PyDev and the latest Komodo, but what I've usually run up
against is that while my vim knowledge isn't amazingly strong it's
just strong enough that I find the vi keybindings in IDEs to be a
little bit frustrating.  I've been meaning to play with PIDA, which
embeds vim directly, but haven't had the opportunity.  It'd be
interesting to hear how PyDev works.
