What do you use as a Python editor- I was hoping to use eclipse but I have used a basic introduction to VIM in my classes so it can be anything. I played around in the SugarLabs Pippy editor but I was hoping that I could write another machine and import.

The first things I usually yum install to a new Sugar image are vim and git, that way I can git clone an Activity repository into the ~/Activities directory, tinker with it using vim, and easily git commit and git push changes back to the main repository after testing. If I'm going to be making large source changes or starting something new I'll often just work on my Mac using Xcode (my source editor of choice) and scp the Activity directory over to various Sugar builds for testing.
