Microsoft Wants Your Feedback On Its New Python IDE 303
First time accepted submitter phoolishcyrus writes "Dear Slashdot: would you kindly take a look at our little project, PTVS — Python Tools for Visual Studio? It helps you develop Python (using any interpreter, not just IronPython) and comes with a few other goodies. Spare no punches."

Maybe there's people who already have Visual Studio for other work purposes and also do python stuff?
It seems unlikely they'd make it if there was nobody using python on Windows.

Whilst you continue extorting $5 per Android handset from HTC [thenextweb.com] your new touchy-feely lets-be-buddies act is worth less than piss froth. So no, I won't even be dignifying your request with a visit to your site out of curiosity.

First all python IDEs I've used stink. Now I have not used them all so I'd be happy to hear suggests but please keep reading. So MS entry is welcome
Second, unless this IDE is cross platform it will HURT not help python programming. Even if you plan just to eat your own dogfood, you mere use of it means that it MS only features wil creep into your lexicon and those of your colleagues. Don't do that. use cross platform tools.
