OK, back to the topic at hand :-) While I personally don't use any IDE for developing in Python (I'm more the editor+cli kind of guy), the big Java-based IDEs are more and more opening up to other languages. For example Netbeans has now an early-access program for Python support [1] in their IDE.
Regarding code management, as I said, I rely mostly on command-line clients of Git [2] and Mercurial [3]. In the documentation department Django's source tarball comes with everything you actually need to know about it. Just install Sphinx [4], go to the docs/ folder and run `make html` to convert the whole documentation of Django into easily readable (and thanks to JavaScript also searchable) HTML pages :-) In fact IMO documentation support in Python is even more integrated into the language environment than it is with Java since you can access a module's, class' or function's documentation right from the commandline with the `pydoc` command instead of first having to build it using javadoc (just my 2c). For your own project documentation, you should probably take a very close look at the Sphinx project [4] mentioned above. It's slowly become the favorite documentation tool of the Python community. If you've got so used to javadoc that you can't live without that style of documentation-output, take a look at epydoc [5] -- Horst [1] http://wiki.netbeans.org/Python [2] http://git.or.cz/ [3] http://www.selenic.com/mercurial [4] http://sphinx.pocoo.org/ [5] http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/ On Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 9:27 AM, DragonSlayre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey, I'm getting started with a friend in developing a site with > Django, and we're both new to this, so I am wondering what people use > to manage all their files, and for looking at documentation etc. > > Having come from a Java background, I'm used to great documentation, > and suspect that Java is very much the leader in doc, and not the > standard. > > I've used the pydev plugin for eclipse, but it seems extremely > limited. > > How do you develop your django projects, and where do you go when you > need to find documentation? > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
