Some kind of interesting stuff, but at $500, and as a freelancer without a cushy corporate budget, I'll stick with Komodo.
Komodo's a great IDE. PTVS also has a free edition that does everything minus profiling.

#52Hi folks, if you happen to be on Windows & enjoy Python, please check out our latest release of PTVS. It's a free/OSS plug-in for VS which supports CPython, IronPython, and the usual Edit/Debug/Profile/etc. now with Django & Client Libs for Linux & MacOS as well. Another cool feature we've added is the Parallel Stack / Watch view and Django template intellisense/debugging. Disclaimer: PTVS is built by few Python/OSS…
I'd like to check it out, but was not able find anything on the Codeplex site about this - does it work with the Express edition of Visual Studio?
toyg is correct. You can use PTVS w the the free "Integrated Shell" which gives you "Python Express". Please see the installation page on http://pytools.codeplex.com. thx.

Express is not extensible, so no. This is a business decision not a technical issue. I personally disagree with it, but then again I don't make these decisions.
Re: Show HN: Python Tools for Visual Studio
#54Given the very sad state of the extensibility of Visual Studio (I wrote about it earlier this year http://evain.net/blog/articles/2012/02/27/visual-studio-your... ), it turns out that not only are the Python Tools an excellent plugin to write Python code in VS, it's also one of the best example of how to implement support for a new language or a debugger in Visual Studio >= 2010. Some things we do in my product would…
jb - Thanks! Glad that PTVS has been useful in that regard. & yes, VS Extensibility can be a PITA compared to Eclipse which was built from ground up with that in mind. They're working on improving it.
Re: Show HN: Python Tools for Visual Studio
#55Looks pretty neat! Does it integrate with virtualenv/pip?
There's nothing built-in yet, but we do have a feature tracking it that I'd encourage you to vote for: http://pytools.codeplex.com/workitem/691
The priority of this has gone up for us after PEP 405 but we weren't able to get to it for 1.5. You can go to Tools->Options->Python Tools->Interpreter Options and setup a custom interpreter which points to your virtualenv, but we need to make it easier than doing that.

Thank you for the info -- I'll give it a whirl.
