In addition to the other excellent answers you've received, I'd point you to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/81584/what-ide-to-use-for-python where there is a fairly extensive comparison chart of IDEs, features, and supported OSes. And, by the way, I'm a very happy camper using BBEdit and WingIDE (the name collision is purely coincidental). Thanks, Bill -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
