Python support from noob perspective: looking good so far
I am a rather frequent contributor of "why this?" or "this seems broken .." So I'd like to change it up a little bit and say, after a week of using python heavily in IJ it is pleasant to do so. The code introspection / navigation works well as well as normally expected things like syntax highlighing, code completion, etc. Have not tried the debugger yet, but that's a "bonus" in any case.

I have been pretty intensely using python last two weeks, put out maybe 1500 sloc with multiprcoessing, io stuff, custom workflow framework, shell integration, classes. So i no longer feel like a noobie .
Point of this post is to say: a "no-longer-noobie" reaffirms: Intellij Idea is a really good python environment. It has surprisingly astute 'lint' warnings : i have learnt that whenever there is something browned out- it means: "hey this is not strictly illegal but you should really pay attention to .. <some particular error>".
I was impressed by for example having 2.7 constructs and the python interpreter browned them out saying: these are 2.7 only: be warned 2.6 will not work. And in fact I ended up changing because my deployment env (AWS) turned out to be old/2.6-ish. Finally I have found installing a 2.6 sdk alongside the 2.7 to be a snap.
v good experience with this.
