copied!<p>I'm pretty sure that the 'one-click setup script' to do all that you are looking for does not exist (at the moment). But don't be put off - you can achieve a nice development environment to suit your needs and there are lots of choices.</p> <p>Although I develop on Windows, I like the setup I have as it's more of a 'Unixy' way of thinking whereby I have a number of tools each doing a specific task. Once you get a workflow setup you can be very productive - although I realise it may look a bit confusing initially coming from a Visual Studio world.</p> <p>Below I outline what I've settled on. I'm sure others will have their own recommendations. Pick the options you like best.</p> <p><strong>(There should be hyperlinks to useful software below but I don't have enough reputation to include more than 1 link...)</strong></p> <p>For developing on Windows I'm enjoying using Pyscripter. It's free, fast (compared to Aptana / Eclipse / Netbeans etc) and has some nice features (dark theme, integrated python console and code explorer to name a few).</p> <p>To get code completion / intellisense to work for web2py you need to add some code to your model / controller files because of the way web2py works. There are some instructions in <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/msg/32506a2023a2af72" rel="noreferrer">this discussion topic</a> on the web2py group.</p> <p>web2py has a great error ticketing system built in (see the web2py book chapter 3). For more comprehensive debugging, pydb seems to be the way to go. Just put the code below as a breakpoint:</p> <pre><code>import pydb pydb.debugger() </code></pre> <p>and it'll take you to the debugger.</p> <p>I use TortoiseHg for Mercurial integration and it works wonderfully. Combine that with winscp and you can deploy easily.</p>
