I prefer the ActiveState version for windows, I haven't tried their Luinux/Mac versions. Basically the Windows version comes with a bunch of extras targetting windows users. You get most of it by adding the winall package linked from python.org but ActiveState package it all up nicely. The help system is much better too and includes some extra material. > Also, what IDE will give a user the ability to view HTML > designs of a web application as well as the code view > (like Dreamweaver does with PHP pages)? Dreamweaver, I believe, will work with Python too. But you don't generally embed python into HTML as you do with PHP or ASP (although some solutions do) Modern thinking on web design suggests you should separate the code and HTML as much as possible and most web frameworks use a templating system like Cheetah/Kid to do that. Any XML/HTML editor should give you a web preview of any of the templating languages.
