Everyone complaining about Eclipse in this thread needs to go try 3.1. The interface is much much much more responsive.
Also, everyone keeps discussing Eclipse as something that gives Java a leg up on Python. *Ahem* PyDev :) Which you should also give another try if you haven't in a few versions. Easiest way to get a GUI debugger for python. My only misgiving with Eclipse now is that I think development of plugins for it is always going to be slower than for Emacs and other editors because they have to be written in Java. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
