Yes, Komodo seems to. I use Komodo (BTW they have a Universal version  
in Beta which I am running right now and appears fairly solid). But  
Komodo does let you choose how it finds the Python to run in its  
debugger: it allows you to let it use the $PATH as its default  
behavior or you can choose a Python to run. In fact, it brings up a  
dialog when launching the debugger allowing you to set command line  
option and several other things including: picking a debug  
configuration which means you can have multiple environment 'sets'  
and it shows you the environment variables in another tab(see pic  
below).  IMHO  I think an IDE, just like a good command line tool  
like a liner or compiler, should read environment variables to allow  
custom environment configurations. At least Active State seems to  
agree anyway ;-)
