There had been some discussion on IDE. But I'm not sure what pros and

Could somebody give some advices on choosing the best IDE for me?
There is a plug-in to develop (amd debug) Python using MS Visual
Studio. It works with IronPython and CPython.
There is the PyDev plug-in for Eclipse.
There is Komodo from ActiveState.
There is KDevelop in KDE4.
Which is better? I don't know.
My impression is that Python development does noe need an IDE like
e.g. C++ development do. There is no build process, which takes the
major advantage of the IDE away. I am fine with a editor like IDLE or
Kate.
For more than ten years I had the same opinion. I found that a very
lightweight "IDE" like PythonWin is sufficient for me together with
print statements and the built-in post-mortem debugger for debugging.
But then, last year I had to find a tricky bug in my GUI code
(wxPython) and thought that for this problem a debugger would be
helpful.
So I gave the Wing IDE with it's debugger a try and have been using
it since then.
Even though an IDE is not an absolute must, I found that my productivity
increased a lot (25%?) and I would not want to miss:
- code completion
- powerful debugger (even if you only use the post-mortem debugger
it will save you a lot of time compared to pdb.pm() as it takes
only a mouse click to move to the exception point in the editor
instead of looking at the line number and then find the same point
in the editor...)
- Mercurial integration
- PyFlakes integration
