I suppose vim on Host + ssh for transfer/run would be fine for me. For debugging I saw some support for python is available in gdb but I'm not sure of the environment, would I run gdb on the host or on the target (via gdbserver)? Also, is gdb a viable solution given the interpreted nature of python or I'd better start off with some GUI/IDE? I normally use gdb/gdbserver for embedded C debugging so I'm fine with the gdb command line interface. thanks, raffaele
