Pythonwin
Some of the new features include:
- Far, far improved debugger. The debugger dialog has gone (yay!),
and lots of the "clunkyness" has been removed (now I will actually
start using it more!). You can now set break-points when the debugger
is not running, step into arbitary scripts, etc. The debugging
experience is far closer to MSVC. A few
notes on the new debugger are here.
- Integration with IDLE extensions. Many of the new Pythonwin
features below have come about simply by stealing code from IDLE :-).
- Dockable interactive window and path browser. PathBrowser can now
browse into the modules themselves (if you get the very latest
pyclbr.py, it works even better!)
- Fully customisable keyboard configuration and extensions. You can
define your own keyboard bindings and also your own custom events!
- Improved auto-indentation and tab usage, thanks to the Tab Wizard
<wink> himself.
- IDLE's "ExpandWord" extension used - excellent feature - start
typing a variable name or any other word, hit Alt+/, and the word
auto-completes.
- Interactive Window has stolen IDLE's history capability, and now
has full support for triple-quoted strings, "_", etc (this now uses the
standard code.py module)
- Integrated class browser with every editor window.
- Support for simple toggling and definition of fixed and
propertional fonts.
- Small improvements to the grep facility.
- Improved call tips and attribute expansion.
- Key binding for toggling between the interactive window and the
most recently used editor window.
- Far improved find facility, including the ability to search
across all open files.
- Quite a few more little improvements. Already I don't know how I
lived without some of these!
Here is the obligatory screen-shot!

If you are not already a registered user,
then you will need to build Pythonwin from the sources (or even better,
register and help support the life and development of these cool Python
extensions!)
