A comment on Ask HN: What Python IDE do you use?.

I live inside WingIDE Pro(/Windows/wxPython/Django/) - it is the only IDE I have used that will reliably debug multi threaded apps and wxPython. We have hundreds of Python components in our product (financial industry) and Wing makes it easy to manage (or at least as easy as possible). The company fixes problems quickly (I have reported a few and they fixed all of them within a reasonable time frame). For commercial Python development it is as close to perfect as I have found. Not cheap, but well worth it...

I love Wing too. Now, how is $180 for the Pro version not cheap?

You are right - for what it delivers $180 is more than reasonable. Unfortunately people tend to compare it to the free IDE's. Of course, Wing is free if you are working on an opensource project.
