Thanks a lot for all the work Dino, I will give it a try for sure.

I am not sure what other IDE people use for Python code writing, but I found that the auto-complete feature in pydev (the Eclipse plug-in) was a lot more efficient than the autocomplete for Ironpython.

Some people may have been wondering what I've been working on since IronPython 
was released into the wild and late last night we announced it - Python Tools 
for Visual Studio [http://pytools.codeplex.com/].  For me this was an awesome 
opportunity to continue work on a Python focused open source project at 
Microsoft. I'm particularly excited I can extend the work we did to support 
IronPython in Visual Studio and add in support for CPython and other Python 
implementations.  I'm also really happy to be able to continue work with the 
Python community.

PTVS keeps all the features we had in IronPython Tools for VS and adds a bunch 
of new features.  For starters we add support for both REPLs and debugging in 
CPython and other Python implementations.  We also add profiling support for 
CPython, support for multiple language versions (2.5 through 3.2), and attach 
to process for CPython processes - both local and remote.  Meanwhile we still 
support all the features we had before including great intellisense and drag 
and drop GUI development for IronPython.

But we're also focusing on developing new features in a specific area - High Performance 
Computing.  For our first beta we've focused on enabling two different scenarios - batch 
computing via MPI and interactive computing via IPython.  For batch computing we support 
publishing to and running on the cluster via a simple "F5" scenario .  If 
you're not yet ready to run on the cluster you can do the same multi-process launch on 
the local machine.  For interactive development we are focusing on the bleeding edge of 
IPython (.11+) where the new architecture is designed from the ground up to support 
parallel computing and alternate REPL UIs.

If you're an IronPython user I encourage you to give the new tools a try - 
you'll first need to uninstall the tools feature in IronPython 2.7RC2 which you 
can do simply by re-running the MSI and choosing the change option.  If you're 
a CPython user I hope you'll also give it a try - you should find that it'll 
support your existing CPython installs for Python 2.5 through 3.2.  Thanks - I 
look forward to hearing your feedback.
