Netbeans' Python support was quite nice as well -- so nice I kept a separate Netbeans 6.9.1 just to keep Python support. However, it was never ported to Netbeans 7 and upwards.

Sadly, that version is too old now. With no git and svn 1.7+ support, it's become just another text editor. I hope the Python plugin gets ported to this new version!

Its C++ support is also great, but a bit opinionated. I remember I wasn't able to get its cmake plugin to make out-of-source builds for example.




I use eclipse, which is buggy as anything (I actually run a debian VM just to run it on Linux, instead of OSX, so that the features actually work) for Python (with C/C++ extensions) and I'd love to see a competing project.

I actually scanned down the list of features looking for Python, and was depressed to see PHP there instead. :/


Netbeans is formally dropping support for Python and Ruby, isn't it?


That happened long time ago, as the JRuby guys left Sun.


Yeah, ctrl-f for python gave a disappointing 0 results. I've been forced to use Aptana since Netbeans 7 and it's not much fun, despite the pep-8 support.
