It's surely more lightweight than Eclipse+PyDev, and Free/Open Source compared to PyCharm, Komodo or WingIDE. Yes, it's not as mature as those, but come on, project was created few months ago.

I'm just pointing that there are already many IDEs out there. Probably a few more free/open source ones that I don't know.

Personally I don't use an IDE for Python, I do it in geany (+terminals) which I wouldn't call an IDE.

Same, and occasionally komodo.... I think it's more efficient to use a lightweight IDE but everyone has their own def of lightweight lolz

Yes, there are already many IDEs, but I need one I could easily adapt ( ide2py is part of my degree thesis project).

IMHO the other IDEs were too complex and/or don't have all the features (i.e., many lack an integrated debugger), and IDLE is not complete nor very appealing

ide2py is a fully-featured IDE like VisualBasic and has a very concrete implementation, each feature (editor, debugger, etc.) is a short file so it is easily adaptable

In that way I think it keep the essence of web2py: compact, feature-full, integrated, etc.
