The HAP debugger (available on Source Forge at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/hapdebugger/ and overdue
for an update) is an out of process debugger. In fact, it's
a remote debugger, and thus, a cross-platform debugger.

That may solve some of the problems you speak of. The others -
well, you can get the source code and start working from it.

I found IDLE and PythonWin frustrating, and inappropriate for
our purposes - so we made HAP, and we've been very happy
with it.
