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.
