Netbeans has really nice support for Ruby and Javascript, so why should Python be left out? So today Sun is announcing that a future version of NetBeans will provide support for Python. We are not announcing which release of NetBeans that will be because we are taking an unconventional (at least for NetBeans) path towards providing that support.<\/p>\n<p>Before <a href=\"http:\/\/fwierzbicki.blogspot.com\/\">Frank Wierzbicki<\/a> and I were even hired by Sun to work on Python and Jython, <a href=\"http:\/\/codesnakes.blogspot.com\/\">Allan Davis<\/a>, a member of the NetBeans community, decided to start implementing support for Python in NetBeans in a project called <a href=\"https:\/\/nbpython.dev.java.net\/\">NBPython<\/a>. What we&#8217;ve decided to do is to work together with Allan and the rest of the NBPython community to produce a high quality Python plugin for NetBeans. The plugin is an early stage of development, but if you are brave, you can get Milestone 4, from the <a href=\"https:\/\/nbpython.dev.java.net\/\">NBPython<\/a> page and try it for yourself. If you decide to do that, you might find this <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.sun.com\/amitsaha\/entry\/nbpython_python_development_on_netbeans\">blog post<\/a> helpful with the installation &#8211; you will need a nightly build of NetBeans &#8211; NetBeans 6.1 will not do). Geertjan Wielenga from Sun did an e-mail <a href=\"http:\/\/netbeans.dzone.com\/news\/interview-allan-davis-nbpython\">interview<\/a> with Allan Davis that has a few more technical details in it. There is plenty of work to do, so if you are interested in helping, drop into the <a href=\"https:\/\/nbpython.dev.java.net\/servlets\/ProjectMailingListList\">development<\/a> mailing list.<\/p>\n<p>A month or two ago, the Sun Developer Network (SDN) started up a <a href=\"http:\/\/developers.sun.com\/ruby\/\">Ruby developer center<\/a>. When that happened, I twittered to see whether there was any interest in a similar site for Python, and a number of folks expressed interest. So I am happy to announce that the <a href=\"http:\/\/developers.sun.com\/python\/\">Python developer center<\/a> is now up and running. This is just a beginning for this site, and we are definitely looking for feedback and suggestions on this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the obvious things that Sun could do in the Python world is to make Python a supported language in the NetBeans IDE.
