There's lot of Python tools available for you. ActiveState has ActivePython (free) - http://www.activestate.com/products/activepython/ Eclipse has a plugin to use for Python - http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/home/ If you use wxPython you can use: Boa Constructor - http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/ Stani's Python Editor - http://pythonide.blogspot.com/ Dabo - http://dabodev.com/ For others, check this: http://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments Most are free, but some have different licenses. Read up on them. I still use IDLE for most of my work. Currently I am playing with XRCed. I did find PythonWin, ActiveState's and Eclipse's to be handy too though.
