I'll add my 2 cents....Eclipse and PyDev is the ONLY solution I've found that I can work with. I can edit my files and debug them without crashing anything. It is robust and I have yet to find any stability problems.
I have tried all the other IDEs that have been mentioned in this thread and they fall into 2 categories: - Disorganized: They are a mess with regards to how windows and displays are organized or just look just horrible. Maybe this is my bias in coming from a Windows background - Unstable: Several would constantly crash, some more than others, but to me, if I get just one crash a day, that's unacceptable. Who know what I can potentially lose. The most common complaint I hear about Eclipse is the size and complexity, but I guess I have an advantage there as I've been doing Java development with Eclipse and IBM's WSAD which is based on Eclipse for a number of years, so I'm VERY comfortable in the Eclipse environment. It does take a while to start, but I'm accustomed to the wait and once it's started, it runs fine. I do agree though that it takes a bit of effort to understand the concepts....workspaces, perspectives, etc > 7.
