External Script Editors and Maya

not_here

Anyone had any luck with linking Maya 2009 to an external script editor?

Maya's Script Editor makes my eyes bleed, and a bit of syntax highlighting / autocomplete would make my life a lot easier.

here's a few links that I found with a google search (Python IDE)…I can't remember what I use on my mac right now, but I like it

Komodo
Wingware
NetBeans
Eclipse (needs a plugin)

issue: none of those will link up to maya directly and allow you to run code straight from the editor, furthermore, the source command is broken in maya, and it won't accept more than a line or two of python code before throwing out errors.

having to click 3 times to run a script is not fun at all.

:-(
