I rather like WingIDE (the name is a coincidence).  It allows insertion/removal of break points while the code is running.  While execution is stopped, it allows direct inspection of the stack (no surprise), but in addition allows execution of python statements or program elements typed into an auxiliary window - including importing things like matplotlib and plotting the current state of data arrays.  Its editor is syntax-aware and highlights accidental syntax errors as they are typed.  Lots of other features, those just happen to be the ones I use most often.
