A clarification here. Mark Hammond's set of Win32 extensions for Python
includes an IDE called PythonWin. The Win32 extensions are installed by
default with ActivePython, hence you have PythonWin is you installed
ActivePython. (You can still get PythonWin with other Python distributions --
you just have to install win32all after installing Python. See
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/)

ActiveState also has an IDE called Komodo (for Python, Perl, PHP, XSLT, etc)
that runs on Windows and Linux.

You should look at: http://www.python.org/editors/ 

Aside: Anybody know who maintains "http://www.python.org/editors/". Its
comments on PythonWin are misleading.

Cheers,
Trent
