Vincent,

The best way to answer your question is 
to try it out.

You can set breakpoints, Step into, Step 
over and Step Out.  You can inspect 
variables in the current context, using 
the Interpreter Window.

You can view the stack and set watches.

Alternatively, you could consider 
PyScripter, which is an excellent 
development tool.

I know nothing about Komodo.
