Yeah, anaconda and preupgrade are probably nascent expert systems.

When I am investigating python programs, I just go look at the installed code since it is human readable. On my F14 x86_64 system, when I run rpm -q --filesbypkg anaconda | less I find that the main packages are in the directories /usr/lib64/anaconda (init and loader) /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda (the bulk of anaconda) I then browse through the categories I am interested in with vim and python syntax highlighting. > > What's there is a g*dawful mess.

If you go to http://www.python.org on the main page there are links that eventually lead to all the Integrated or GUI development environments. You should be able to try them (even the commercial products have stripped down free versions) to see which one you like. Maybe someone else will give a more helpful answer. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
