It's free, well supported and well behaved, and has all the debugging features you name and then some. It's also a modern code editor with code-hinting, syntax highlighting, etc. The only downside of Eclipse to me is its 'workspace' and 'project' metaphors for file organization; which take a bit of getting used to, particularly if you're used to just editing in a text editor, and then running in Idle or a command line. I still usually also have Idle open as well so I can test little code snippets quickly and easily; but mostly I work in Eclipse. Cheers - Chas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
