basic python development setting

[homeshoes]

hello, I need help on choosing the right packages from "Apps: Regular applications" to make the basic python setting for development, if possible with the "pip"

there are numerous .tcz packages such as: micropython.tcz, python-dev.tcz,  python.tcz, python3.tcz, python3-dev.tcz , which one to choose?

it looks clear that the python_pip.tcz is readily available there to install..good there is only one pip and not many other..However, I have also seen a file named python-numpy.tcz which numpy is a python package grins at me as a choosen package choosen from a hundred packages that do not exist as a .tcz file.. perhaps might be another discussion topic..

would appreciate help for naming basic packages for development including an IDE.

regards

The first choice you need to make is whether to use micropython, python-2.x or python-3.x.

As most of the extensions named python-* are for python-2.x, maybe it is better to go with python-2.x. i.e. python.tcz.

If you want to develop with python-2.x, then you'll also need python-dev.tcz.

Thank you and therefore, for the python2 setting, is it right to say: python.tcz, python-dev.tcz and perhaps the python_pip.tcz

And do you have any suggestions in TC to use as a Python IDE to have the text files and the interactive shell ?

[Juanito]

I guess python, python-dev, python_pip and python-setuptools.

Sorry, but I don't have any particular suggestions for the IDE.

In text mode you can use mc (Midnight Commander) built-in editor which has syntax highlights. In GUI there is Idle, Python's own editor to start with.

Idle is simply there and I am like looking for stuff !!
have a great day bmarcus.
