Well, I'm using gvim for most development: http://www.vim.org/ It is a superb editor, but may take some time to get accustomed to. Here is a list of editors from a previous message I sent: <<<<< * http://www.vim.org/ * http://www.xemacs.org/ (Very hard to get used to from my experience) * http://projects.gnome.org/gedit/ * http://www.geany.org/Main/HomePage I personally swear by Vim for most stuff, but on Linux I also tend to use Kate and other editors when Bi-directionality (mixed Hebrew+Latin, etc.) is involved. I should note that Vim and gvim are cross-platform and run on MS-Windows and other operating systems. And for a little fun, see: http://www.notepad.org/ >>>>> For debugging you can look at: * http://docs.python.org/library/pdb.html * http://winpdb.org/ I've had a good experience working with pdb. Also look at writing automated tests (unit tests, system tests, integration tests, etc.) with Python and doing test-first and test-driven development. Other people on this list can give better references than I could.
