Top 5 Django IDEs

May 1, 2009 | In: development, django, python, random thoughts, ruby

I’ve seen a lot of people out there looking for a good IDE for doing Django work. Personally I’m a pydev guy. I have been using Eclipse for so long for everything else it’s very natural to keep on that path. However there are definitely other alternatives out there. Here is a list of other IDEs and editors that have Django support.

  1. Eclipse with PyDev (part of Aptana now)
  2. TextMate with Django Bundle (technically not an IDE but allot of people love it)
  3. Netbeans with Django Plugin
  4. Wing
  5. Komodo with Django Komodo Kit

So I’m sure some of you people out there will say man up… use VIM or Emacs… be a real programmer! To that I say have at it. If that’s your preference then do what works best for you. By all means, leave me a comment and tell my how wrong I am and/or glow about how good your IDE/editor is. Long story short Django is an awesome framework and whatever you choose to work in I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Reality Check!
Of course there are other options out there. And top 5 doesn’t mean these are the best. But from my research these are the editors most people seem to be using.

  • Interesting link. I did find another IDE that seems to be really good for Django development, Eric. You can see my review at http://www.systura.com/node/54.

    Wow never knew there was such great support in vim for Django. Looks really well thought out. Thanks for the heads up.

    Since I'm using vim for a couple of years, I use it every day. The plugins are awesome.
