Wing IDE is an integrated development environment for Python and
mixed language software projects.  Our focus is on increasing
programmer productivity through quality and design.  Wing IDE
version 1.1 provides you with:

* Source code browser and code index tools for navigating and
  understanding Python code.
* Powerful auto-completing code editor with syntax highlighting,
  code folding, code reformatting tools, and configurable 
  personalities (including emacs key bindings).

  launched code such as web CGIs, embedded scripts, and 
  networked debugging

Wing runs on Windows 98/NT4/2000/XP and on most Linux distributions.

Wing is already being used all over the world and in many business
and non-profit organisations.  Here is some of the positive feedback
