This, perhaps, is the biggest single issue for the continued use of
Python in our company.

I have a recurring battle with my co-director about Python's lack of a
business-quality development environment. The problem that IDLE and
PythonWin can neither offer reliable interactive debugging is seen by
some as reason to ditch the lanuage.

I've got used to it, resorting to interactive debugging only as a last
resort - and restart PythonWin after each run. But he compares this to
Visual Studio's slick interface and finds Python wanting.

If I had any influence in the development of Python as a whole, I'd
urge the developers to divert their attention away from sexy new
language features and concentrate for a couple of releases on
addressing shotcomings that shag the IDEs.
