There is one good commercial IDE for Python, WingIDE. I use it (on a 
free open-source license) and I like it a lot, especially the debugger. 
But it's not a native Mac application (it uses Gtk and thus X11), which 
for Mac purists might be a problem. It does a pretty good job however 
in using Mac keyboard shortcuts, which for me is the essential 
compatibility aspect.

Unless those editors have a generous scripting API, this sounds 
impossible. You want to set breakpoints with a mouse click and have 
them marked graphically in the editor, right? How many editors have 
mechanisms that allow retrofitting such functionality? Other than 
Emacs, I couldn't name any.
