The IDE question

I hate to pimp my own editor, but you may want to give PyPE a try
(http://pype.sf.net). It handles multiple documents via tabs, has a
source browser (updated with 'F5'), and various other features that may
just win it for you.  I also have a few screenshots of it up at
http://pype.sf.net/ss.html if you'd like to look before you leap.

1.9.3 is reported to work with wxPython 2.5.1.5, but if you are on
Windows, feel free to run the binary (I do).

P.S. DrPython has better autocompletion (theirs will look through module
names), if you find DrPython's quality necessary, I'm sorry.
