IDE's aren't as big of a deal in Python as they would be in C#.

A lot of people just pick a nice text editor to do their work in. I like to use xcode on the mac, but I use Python's built in debugger from the command line for debugging. I find it easier than fooling with an IDE.

Thanks - yeah I will certainly need to shift my thinking away from c#-style (read: Visual Studio) development.

As for pdb, I guess I've been spoiled by Visual Studio's debugging - hover to see values, step through source code, etc.

Is there no Python debugging/IDE equivalent to Visual Studio's hover/etc?

there is, use Pycharm/IntelliJ
