Yes, the command window is great. When developing wxPython applications
I us pywrap a lot (and I always have a pycrust window open to test
things, see calltips etc. PyDev's intellisense isn't working very well.
I hope Wing IDE is a little better here.)
I haven't used wxPython directly since I found dabo. I have only created
small database-centric applications 'til now, so I'm looking forward to
my next projects.

        I also do a LOT of debugging from the Command Window (the
dShell,  
based on PyCrust), which is why I added it to the base menu. In any  
Dabo app, I can press Cmd-D/ Ctrl-D and have an interactive session  
where I can inspect objects, change their properties, call their  
methods, etc. Being able to work with live objects is critical when  
dealing with GUI issues. For example, when I refactored out the image  
code from all the classes that display images, I would run the class  
to bring up the test form for that object, and then address the  
control directly to manipulate it and make sure that each change of a  
property did what it's supposed to do, such as refresh at the right  
time, size the image appropriately, change the text if applicable, etc.
