I rather like using IDLE. you hit F5 to load/reload the python code
you're looking at. It also has a rather nice stack viewer that allows
you to change the values of any variables, or double-click on a class
and pull up its definition in the code.

The ability to set breakpoints and the spiffy debugger are also quite
useful.
