While I don't have any solutions for your problems outlined above, you certainly don't need to limit yourself to the "tools" you've been exposed to (nor should you make a generalization based on them).
If PythonWin is giving you that much trouble, you could optionally use a different editor. I use DrPython[1] from time to time. Also, when you say that you had to reinstall your "machine", surely you didn't mean your operating system? I don't think it would be too difficult to find a list of registry keys that Python uses, (or, indeed, inquiring towards the values of those that 2.4 uses and manually adding them) but I seriously doubt it involves any that your system's stability balances on.
