Well, one other option -- not free, but not very expensive -- is
WingIDE (wingware.com). I've gotten to like it very much, even though I
don't much like (on Mac) having to run under X11. That gives it a small
performance hit as compared with the Windows version (which I've used
only a little). But for me at least, it's a very nice debugging
environment. TextWrangler is better as an editor for big tasks, but
Wing's is quite OK, especially for the editing required while
debugging.

I contacted the software company for BBEdit and TextWrangler re: my
problem with using stdin (e.g raw_input) when running a script from

Several people were interested so I thought I'd post the reply:
scripts which are run directly within BBEdit cannot read from STDIN.
In order to accomplish that, you'll need to either run them in the
Terminal, or within a BBEdit shell worksheet (File -> New -> Shell
Worksheet).
(If you haven't used shell worksheets before, and don't require a
fully interactive terminal session, you might want to give them a try,
as they can be quite handy.)

The worksheet seems to solve that problem, but it does not enable me
to use TextWrangler or BBEdit as an IDE-type environment. In fact
what I want to do won't even work in the terminal window. I have some
simple functions that require interactive use, i.e. Apple events (e.g.
file open and saves using EasyDialogs). Using them terminates the
program in a terminal, a python session (with the >>> prompt), or a
worksheet with the message:
MacOS.Error: (-1713, 'no user interaction is allowed')
Sigh. Back to MacPython IDE. Seems to be the only option.
Thanks for the feedback from many people.
