I use Wing IDE (not free, wingide.com). It contains a full debugger that worked for me with Django with minimal fuss. I can step through the whole thing by debugging the manage.py runserver --noreload
The thing I find most valuable about their debugger is that it gives you a full python shell (with autocomplete) that evaluates to wherever your debugger is at the time. So you can set a breakpoint in a function that's giving you trouble and then run whatever python commands you'd like to in order to figure out what's going on. Pretty solid. I used Eclipse with pydev for 4 months and it was causing some stability issues with my machine. I was also having some trouble with the autocomplete terms and it doesn't have a debugger that I could get working. Eclipse + pydev is the best free option I found, but throwing down the cash for Wing IDE has been a good investment in my particular situation.
