Debugging Python code is generally easy enough without an IDE; any
time something goes wrong, you get an exception with a very pretty
traceback. That's usually enough on its own. A little bit of editor
integration can help you jump to the lines mentioned, in the same way
that you might get that with C compiler errors; that's all I've ever
needed.
When one runs code from an IDLE editor, output and exceptions go to the
IDLE Shell. Right click on a traceback line and select 'Go to
file/line' and IDLE will display the file in an IDLE editor (opening it
if necessary) and put the cursor on the proper line. (It does the same
with grep output.)
