I've become somewhat addicted to Eclipse's refactoring support for Java and have started working with BRM to get some of the same support when I do Python development. I've been astonished with just how effective BRM is. Astonished becuase the software doesn't seem to get an enourmous amount of attention given how useful it is. I use SPE which doesn't have refactoring support but is otherwise a very nice Python IDE. I've taken to using BRM's integration with IDLE -- treating that combination as a "refactoring browsing" sidecar to SPE. Not ideal but still *very* useful. You might want to know that the BRM 0.9 tarball contains a corrupt BicycleRepairMan_IDLE.py -- bunch of non-whitespace characters around line 303. I got around it by downloading the HEAD of that file from Sourceforge CVS. Best regards, Keith I’m delighted to see signs of your renewed interest in BRM.
