Python n00b - Which IDE and how to import from GitHub?

[Bitcoin++]

Hi,

I have never programmed with Python but I do have some experience with VB and Java.

I just wonder which Python IDE you recommend on a Windows 7 machine?
And also fine if there is a guide on how to import a project from GitHub.

There are some good recommendations here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/81584/what-ide-to-use-for-python

I've used PyCharm extensively and I loved it. Works well if you with Django as well. http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/
PyCharm, if your willing to spend a good hundred, has git integration. They have a demo as well.

As for Github. It depends on the IDE. If there isn't any git functionality within the IDE already, you can just git pull and then import the git files into the IDE itself.

If you don't want to use command-line git, you can use a gui.
http://git-scm.com/
or from github themselves:
https://windows.github.com/

Good luck!

Pycharm community edition (free) has git integration.

Good point. But to note, this is "technically" supposed to be used only for opensource projects and by opensource developers.

"technically", you can use it for whatever you want, including commercial use, because it uses the Apache 2 license.

My apologies. I seemed to have mixed up the Free Version with the Open Source one : http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/buy/buy.jsp#openSource

But that is really great to know. I've had that misconception this whole time, so thank you.
