I use pydev extensively for all my Python related work. And I really love
it.

The good part about Eclipse/PyDev is that (if you are an Eclipse user)
you'll have to learn only a single IDE for all your programming works in
most of the languages. The interface, the shortcut keys to step, all are
the same across all languages that you use in Eclipse.

As for PyDev, it works very good with Eclipse.
Be it code-completion or thread debugging, all is supported. For
multithreaded applications, in PyDev, you'll see all the threads listed.
Then you can use each thread and proceed with debugging the code.

Learning Eclipse might take some time but that's worth it.

HTH,
