For my money it's well worth looking at Wing (http://wingware.com) - the 
more I use this system the more I like it, and I especially like the way 
I can inspect and set breakpoints in GUI-based code - it can be 
wxPython, Tkinter or something else entirely. The ability to execute 
ad-hoc Python statements in the context of interrupted code is a godsend 
in heavy debugging sessions.
