Winpdb - A Platform Independent Python Debugger End of the Editor Wars
My search for the perfect editor has finally come to an end. Yesterday I found it and it is called NetBeans IDE 6.5.
I downloaded and installed the package for PHP development. It simply does so much right. Its project management, symbol lookups, code completion, in-file searches, across-files searches and source navigation are superb. Using its [...]

Winpdb 1.4.0, Second Take
Python 2.6 users, read this:
I posted a new Windows installer for Winpdb 1.4.0 Tychod that installs on Python 2.6. The original installer was built with Python 2.5 and does not install on Python 2.6 (which is the result of a bug in Python). There are no changes to the package files.

Quiet
It has been rather quiet lately with Winpdb. I have been gradually getting less and less feedback, bug reports and requests either here or in the sourceforge pages. Since it is being downloaded as usual I can only assume it is a sign of maturity. Maybe it just works.

A Wiki for Winpdb
I have set up an initial Wiki for Winpdb in response to a comment by BobC about collaboration. In addition Winpdb is now published as a Mercurial repository at: winpdb.org/cgi-bin/hgweb.cgi
