If you're doing web work, primarily python, Wing IDE has great VIM support. It supports custom vim configurations and all of the good stuff. It has a free version, but I threw down some cash (d to get a sweet integrated debugger and test-running capabilities. I found it superior to both Netbeans and pydev on Eclipse, but both of those also support VIM text editing (with plugins). Basically, pretty much every decent python editor I've tried has supported vim either natively or via plugins.

Now, you mention you had trouble with boa. You're going to want to get it working unless you want to spend some money, because for $0.00 that's as good as it's going to get. Otherwise the two above are good investments. IIRC Komodo has a free version, but I'm not sure. PythonWorks had great potential but it's not being developed any more. It only supported Tkinter anyway.

That's as far as GUI designer support. If you're not having any luck you might want to try wxWorkshop. I've heard some people have luck embedding their dialogs in C++ libraries and binding them to Python programs. YMMV.

If all you want is a good Python editor with debugger support there are a bunch of them out there:

http://drpython.sourceforge.net
http://pype.sourceforge.net/ (more mature)

Personally the best Python-specialized editor I've used is IDLE, though it has no GUI capabilities. IDLE ships with the full Python distribution for Linux and Windows, and it behaves essentially the same in both platforms.

Last I checked, many (most) Linux IDEs weren't available under OS X:

• BlackAdder
• Boa Constructor
• Eric (not sure)
• Komodo
• WideStudio
• Wing

• Wing IDE
• eric3
• Visual Python
• Others...

I checked out the click-n-run offerings

not to impressive

On the IDE page

4 out of seven was IDLE (for different py versions), that is the python IDE that is included in tkinter, witch is normaly installed if you select python on any desktop distro anyhow, so it should already be on your system if you have python

There are a few quite good IDEs for python out there for instance WingIDE.
Why not try to license one of them (there are even a few free ones),
if they wanted to offer some kind of value-added service for py devel.

When it comes to C++ they only have Anjuta, even KDevelop is missing, but for some reason they offer "Gideon - data" and "Gideon -doc" - why not offer all of KDevelop?

why mix parts of KDevelop and Anjuta?
