I have an open source project written in python , it has some Forms and I want to modify a few things in the code and in the forms but it is my first time with python and I don’t know what IDE to use and how to start ..
my basic question is can I deal with forms in python like c#, java …etc ? and how should I start ?
Because this project uses pyGTK, you can use glade which is a gtk forms designer, but it would probably add an extra layer of complexity that’s really not necessary. Since you’re already familiar with C#/Java, I’d recommend running through the official Python tutorial. Then I’d take a look at this excellent PyGTK tutorial. If you spend about a day really trying to understand the Python model and the “pythonic” way of doing things, you should then be able to easily modify that program.
While you probably don’t need to use and IDE for a project this simple, if you want, you can use Eclipse (which you may be familiar with coming from Java) with PyDev. It allows you to write/debug Python programs inside the what may be the familiar Eclipse IDE.
