Enthought TraitsUI based Python IDE

Has anybody come across an Enthought TraitsUI (Envisage etc) based Python IDE?

I wonder why there is none, when Enthought Tool Suite makes it so easy to create extensible python GUI applications. One reason I can think of, why such an IDE makes a lot of sense, is because it will be cross platform.

Any reason why such an IDE does not make sense?

Solution

  • Any reason why such an IDE does not make sense?

    Most people who use Python don't use the Enthought tool suite, so there's not enough interest to create a project (or demand for a company to sell a product).

    I know that's not what you want to hear, so here's a few options:

    1. Find a bunch of smart people who also like it and would like an IDE built with Enthought and build an IDE
    2. Clamor for Enthought to make an IDE

    You can always use Eclipse or another open-source IDE as a backend and just build a new UI.
