RE: [Visualpython-discuss] Is Visual Python out of beta status?

[Visualpython-discuss] Debugging a multi-threaded app with breakpoints | [Visualpython-discuss] Is Visual Python out of beta status?
I totally agree
 
Thank you for gathering all these issues. They are indeed very annoying.
 
I would also add the very annoying issue where Visual Studio is totally frozen
while we're debugging wxPython applications (the "run in shell window" project
setting doesn't change anything). This means we cannot insert breakpoints
during program execution, which is obviously a showstopper issue for many
situations.
 
We are looking for a good development environment for the Python developers
in my team and, although VP did look promising, i am afraid we'll have to rely
on something else...

Objet : [Visualpython-discuss] Is Visual Python out of beta status?



I downloaded the 30 day trial yesterday.  I want to like this product, but I get the feeling
 it's still in beta but with a 300 dollar price tag.

 

 

There are two showstopper bugs

â?¡       Visual Studio crashes with Visual Python installed.  Not all the time, mostly when
 I'm exiting Visual Studio, but occasionally it's right in the middle of doing work.

â?¡       Within the solution Explorer, dragging a file from another project into a Python p
roject causes the file to be deleted!

 

 

 

And there are lots of other problems:

â?¡       the editor doesn't work well with Python spacing.  After I changed the options to 
use spaces instead of tabs, I got better results.  Every other Python editor figures this ou
t automatically

â?¡       the debugger does not handle the buggy program termination gracefully, I have to o
pen up the task manager and kill the Python debugger process

â?¡       the debugger doesn't let me change the value of a variable

â?¡       the "show all files" button isn't available in Python projects

â?¡       Python output goes to the "run" window instead of the output pane

â?¡       the command pane doesn't work

â?¡       where is the IntelliSense?
