A great Python IDE for Ubuntu [duplicate]

If you want a professional IDE but not free, then you can buy Wingware.

In contrary, if you want a free professional IDE, then try Eric. The version 4 is for Python 2, and the version 5 is for Python 3.

Because this greatly varies from person to person, I recommend you just try out a few and find one you like. I am currently working with Eclipse + PyDev. (PyDev is an Eclipse plugin.)

If you are familiar with Vim editor, you can add some scripts like python.vim to make it support Python more professionally.

If you prefer working in IDE like Eclipse, then PyDev will be suitable for you.

By the way, using Python's interactive command line terminal is a good way to start learning Python.
