Python Shells

PythonWin is a light windows application good for editing scripts and running some immediate code with some context menu/dropdowns and support for ActiveX controls.

IPython is a super-powered python shell good for more serious console usage. Also see:

Jupyter is used in the IPython notebook which starts a local webserver and allows a graphical interface.

Spyder is a much fuller featured python IDE with debugging etc. In HSTB we use eclipse, but it has a steeper learning curve or PyCharm.
