I'd recommend ipython + emacs. Apart from the fact that emacs is simply the
most powerful general purpose editor, the python support is also pretty good
(apart from editing support (such as block shifting commands) there is a good
integration with an interactive ipython session, so not only do you get
ipython's readable tracebacks but you can also easily jump to the actual
files/line where the problem occured etc.). Also try @pdb on.
