I use print statements mostly but when I need a debugger
I've found 
pyscripter ( http://tinyurl.com/yrxd65 ) to be very useful. If there's 
anything better and free I'd also be keen to hear about it.

We are quickly moving towards offtopic land, but since there
is some 
interest, here are my 2c:

For debugger Winpdb is great. See 
http://w
ww.digitalpeers.com/pythondebugger/. It is also bundled
with an 
Ok IDE called SPE http://pythonide.blog
spot.com/.

Eric4 is very promising, but it is not released yet. I've
used Eric3 and 
liked it a lot, but Eric3 has no Windows version, while
Eric4 has. Some 
people use Eric4 nightlies with great success, however
installation is 
not for the faint of heart. See 
http://
www.die-offenbachs.de/detlev/eric.html

For quick debugging session Idle is Ok, albeit UI is a bit
unintuitive. 
First thing to do is tick "show source code" or
something like that.

PythonWin (or whatever it called, part of pywin32) much more
user 
friendly then Idle, but has many bugs. Or at least had
couple of years ago.

Please, email me privately if you need more comments -- this
is hardly a 
topic of this list.

Kirill
