I really like Komodo.  I initially bought their Visual Python plugin
for VS7 and liked it, but due to some problems I had to switch to
Komodo for a while.  I never switched back because I ended up liking
working in Komodo better.  

It also works on Linux, though there are a few shortcuts missing in
the debugging but otherwise it is complete.  (Hint hint ActiveState,
put in CTRL+F5 to run immediately, and F10 to start.  Why not have
them all?)

I've never used their Tk builder thing, since I think wxPython is the
way to go.  (Againt, Hint hint ActiveState)
