Does a plugin exists for Python/Django into Dreamweaver? Just wondering since Dreamweaver is a great web dev tool.

As far as I know there's no Django-specific IDE plugins out there.

However I use Eclipse with PyDev for my Django/Python needs and it is quite nice.

It is very nice, it even has code completion for html and css.

Found one from some guy named Beshr Kayali, but I can't try it myself, since I don't have Dreamweaver.

I remember looking for a plugin too, but came across this stumbling block:

Designers are assumed to be comfortable with HTML code. The template system isn’t designed so that templates necessarily are displayed nicely in WYSIWYG editors such as Dreamweaver. That is too severe of a limitation and wouldn’t allow the syntax to be as nice as it is. Django expects template authors are comfortable editing HTML directly.

That being said, I found a Dreamweaver extension whilst having another quick look, so give it a try and let us know how it goes! From experience, the Eclipse solution offered by Paolo works very nicely, and the Komodo plugins look great, too. I know you are looking for a graphical editor, but emacs does a very nice job ;)
