I'll definitely give it a shot.

From a usability perspective, your download button could be better. It doesn't download right away (which is fine), but redirects to downloads/win for me. Might be nice to have it auto-scroll to the win downloads since it took me a while to figure out what was going on.

Here's a screenshot from Win7 32-bit: http://i.imgur.com/2RT6u.png

That random pink line makes it unusable for me.

Pretty cool all around, but it needs a lot more stability work. It crashed a few times just scrolling around in some of my python projects, and there are quirks such as complaining "This font can not be used in this editor" if I open the font selector and then click "Cancel".

Also, changing the margin line doesn't seem to take effect unless you quit and restart the IDE.

Is this based on QT Creator?

This is nice, but one quick question, why's the windows installer in spanish?

Most (all?) of the team is based in Argentina. I'll bring it up to one of the devs (a coworker).

How does this compare to PyCharm?

I'm wondering the exact same thing.

Would be nice to be able to selectively disable some PEP 8 rules in the style checker. I don't care about lines longer than 80 characters and I don't like separating functions by two empty lines.

Crashed while scrolling =( Was curious, but can't see myself moving away from PyCharm/Sublime.

Don't know about the IDE but that font is horrendous.

On mountain lion, it requires X11. Not sure why as my PyQT apps do not.
