I've been working on some test code as a way of learning my way around the Chandler repository. Needless to say the code has improved as my grasp of the system has improved. This afternoon I spent a bunch of time refactoring some of my old test code, and for the first time I found myself wishing for Eclipse. The implementation of refactoring there is really useful (Eclipse 3.0M6 came out today BTW). So I'm looking for recommendations of Python tools, particularly regarding refactoring. Up to now, I've been using good old Emacs, which has been serving fine, but I'm always on the lookout for more leverage. I know about WingIDE, which has some nice features (I had an open source license on Linux for doing pyblosxom work) -- I just figured out that I need to run X11 to get it work on the Mac, so I'll be trying that. I've also experimented with pyCrust, but find it be be quite sluggish, and it doesn't refactor. I've read about Bicycle Repair Man, but haven't tried it. Are there others I should be looking at?
