Python language ver 2.4 , development platform 0.4

The Python language is at ver 2.4 and a thing of beauty. As a development environment IMHO it is probably 0.4 I really like what I read when I say "import this" in Python. But as a development environment - TOOWTDI and "batteries included" are just not true. I would like to place my position in
