The other night Wilhelm also gave me a brief demo of Aleks Totic's pydev, which is ironic because Aleks volunteered at OSAF before I started there. pydev looks promising but it looks to me like it still needs some more work. Aleks is no longer working on it, which is a bit scary but it looks like there are some other developers as well. Perhaps Dana Moore will be talking about pydev at his session next week at OSCON. I mostly use Wing just for the debugger, and they've been really late with the Wing 2.0 beta for OS X. Not only that, but Wing on the Mac requires X11. Here I go, turning back into a Mac snob...

I go to SeaJUG to hang out with people. If the presentation is good, that's just a bonus. Here's an example of why. As we were riding over to the meeting, Wilhelm was telling me about see, which is basically emacsclient/gnuclient for SubEthaEdit. It allows you to invoke SubEthaEdit from the command line and have it open a file in a running SubEthaEdit, or start a new SubEthaEdit if one isn't running. Wilhelm picked this up off some blog that I never heard of. It comes in Objective-C source format.
