Relax this is Python :) Not sure why you would worry at all about any IDE. Especially when they your current IDE works fine. To answer the other question PythonWin is written by Mark Hammond ( PyWin32 ) . It contains a lot of really cool Python/Windows enhancements and has a makepy utiity so you can wrap activex X controls with Python and use at will from your windows machine. Idle was written by GvR so it comes with Python. hth , M.E.Farmer
