I'm starting to look into this as well. I guess everyone has their own IDE preferences, but I've still been comfortable using Eclipse. I'm not sure exactly what you're looking to do, but here's where I started.
Setting up your Environment 1. Setup Eclipse and installed the PyDev plugin to use as my IDE. See this link for instructions to setup PyDev. http://pydev.org/manual_101_install.html 2. I'm using Jython (not Python) so I downloaded the jar here. http://www.jython.org/downloads.html 3. Obviously you need the Android sdk and the MonkeyRunner jar is available in the \\android-sdk-windows\tools\lib folder. If you don't have the SDK you can get it here. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html 4. Update Eclipse to add the monkeyrunner.jar and jython.jar. In Eclipse, Window, Preferences, Pydev, Interpreter- Jython, Libraries Tab. Add the monkeyrunner and jython jars here. That should at least get you started with the IDE. I tested their sample script on the site http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/monkeyrunner_concepts.html and I at least get some navigation from it. I'm not actually starting an application, but I was able to navigate on the emulator device through the menu. I'm working on trying to run one of our apps now. Try testing the script this way and see if it works. 1. Launch an emulator. 2. Try saving their sample monkeyrunner program to a file like test.py somewhere like C:\myapp. 3. Run C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\monkeyrunner C:\myapp\test.py. You should at least see the navigation controls take place. This is still pretty new to me so I hope that help out.
