text app with python highlighting

jellywerker · 2006-01-03 05:23:28

I am looking for a bare bones editor that has highlighting support for python, something like leafpad would be great. Does such a program exist?

Note: I jsut can't seem to get away from arch, I jsut keep trying and trying

Maybe SciTe is close to what you're looking for...

hmm, it's a wonder that I have never looked into scite before, I think it will serve my needs admirably, thanks.

It's my editor of choice, if you have a good look through the Global Options file, there is a crap load you can change about it and make it exactly what you want

i realize that this is about as far from 'bare bones' as you can possibly get, but have you tried pydev for eclipse? I used to be into tiny editors but some of these features (code completion, realtime syntax error detection, collapseable code, cvs/subversion support (with subclipse)), and just generally very nice shortcut keys and syntax highlighting have really gotten me hooked.

na, I just want simple, I think scite is for me. Perhaps my first real project can be the modification of a leafpad for python editing (if I can find a way to extend it with python...) adding a few features like text find, highlighting, and autocompletion.

Edit: it seems leafpad has some sort of highlighting, perhaps python? I'll look into it...

Edit2: Why did I ask this, I feel stupid now Nedit! I lareadyy have it, it's lightweight but poerful, uncluttered (if a bit ugly ) and has syntax highlighting for all the main languages!

how about vim or evim?

Leafpad

Leafpad is a simple GTK+ text editor that emphasizes simplicity. As development focuses on keeping weight down to a minimum, only the most essential features are implemented in the editor. Leafpad is simple to use, is easily compiled, requires few libraries, and starts up quickly.

vim/gvim

Isn't, doesn't, are, isn't, isn't, does, does.

leafpad doesn't seem to have the syntax highlighting I thought it did.

Bluefish?

Komodo · 2006-01-03 22:50:06

Magnum when it's gone modular (which is hopefully not in the too distant future).

jellywerker · 2006-01-04 01:42:52

I'll check out magnum when it's more developed as you said. Bluefish might work, and it doubles as a great html editor, but doesn't it need gnome, or jsut gtk2?

Bluefish depends on libgnomeui
