Python IDE

[Alfonso de Cala]

Hello !

I'm Alfonso de Cala, Guadalinex developer, and (probably) Ubuntu colleague in a close future.

I agree with Sean about using Ubuntu to promote Python,  just including an easy to use IDE.

We did something like that in Guadalinex, including Pythoncard. It's simple but powerful enought for a beginner. 

As we have pythoncard runtime libs in the distro, it's really easy for a developer to make a 10Kbytes graphic application and share it with all the users. Some of them made GuadalinexRadio, a kind of gnome interface for mplayer with dozens of radio streaming urls configured.

Maybe it's not a perfect IDE, but it's a good first step.
