After reading an excellent article by Kazi Manzur Rashidon setting up a development environment for Iron Ruby using Notepad++, I was immediately struck with an idea of using the same excellent tool with Python 2.6.
Now don’t get me wrong here, theoretically there is nothing wrong with IDLE, but having a lightweight IDE for those who don’t want to use Pydevplugin for Aptanaor Eclipse, I think Notepad++ is indeed a nice little dev tool.
One of the amazing capabilities in Notepad++ is that one can assign shortcuts like(Cntrl + F5) and debug/interpret python script with python interpreter.
