My two-grain of salt: PythonWin is simple and nice BUT breaks if you do Tkinter Gui (and try to run a program while the previous run isn't finished) Python Scripter - light, nice, some nice features but missing code folding, if you like that... Pydev + Eclipse (Eclipse is Java based plugin type environment) lots of stuff (to much for some) and heavy [t's Java after all ;-) ] But nowadays with RAM, and processor speed - it's nice to do almost every task in the same basic environment (plugins for almost anything) BTW Kudos to all the people behind these apps (mark hammond of pywin fame, kiriakos vlahos for python scripter , and fabio zadrozny for pydev) jean-marc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
