My setup is similar to Alan's:
* Windows XP
* Python Enthought Edition
* Iron Python shell for experimenting/prototyping
* GviM for editing
* Standard Command prompt window for execution
It isn't a sophisticated, "integrated" solution, but it works quite
well. Sometimes the simple ideas are the best. Remember this famous
exchange:
Devil: "Take the easy path. I brought you a suite of applications
that all work together."
Dilbert: "That's unnatural!!! Be gone!!!"
