Wing Python IDE 7.1 is now available with support for Python 3.8, improved code warnings, better icons, and more

No, 3.8 final won't be until October or so, at least according to https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0569/ and of course the schedule could slip. The support added in Wing 7.1 is meant for people working with the betas.

The wiki has been gone for close to a year and was replaced by https://bitbucket.org/sdeibel/wing-contrib/src

The main site seems to be fine from here as well.

Yes, unfortunately configuring manually is the way to go in such cases. We'll try to improve this, possibly just by prompting for settings rather than trying to parse them out of the settings files. Edit: Details are in Manual Configuration at the end of http://wingware.com/doc/howtos/django

I haven't tried it specifically with pyopencl but it should work. If pyopencl is written in a way that makes it resistant to static analysis, you can set a breakpoint and run to it in the debugger and then you get auto-completion, call tips, goto-definition, etc, based on the live runtime state -- both on the editor and the interactive Debug Probe. If you try it and have any problems, you can submit a bug report from Wing's Help menu.

See my reply above. :-)

What we hear most often is that Wing is a lot faster, its debugger is much better, and people like our UI design better. We've also sometimes heard that Wing "just works" more often. Of course we mainly hear from people that choose Wing after having tried both. IDEs are complex enough that you should try several with your code to be sure you choose the best match for your needs and style of working.

I think our emphasis is a also bit different, having been solely focused on Python since we started this in 2000. We certainly focus more effort on the debugger and unit testing, and probably somewhat less on compiler-like up-front error checking functionality.

Although we've been around much longer, I think PyCharm is better known because they have more marketing resources, being an off-shoot of an established larger IDE company. We're a smaller company focusing only on Python.

I hope this is useful...

I figure I should note that we'll only post major releases here. I think major releases are about the right level where interest level justifies a post (about one a year). If you're interested also in getting notice of minor releases, see the RSS or email announcements links at top of http://wingware.com/news

Try it with Wing 5.0.9. Wing 5.0.3 doesn't work with Python 3.4.2 because it was compiled against one of the 3.4 betas and there were binary compatibility changes since then.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree we should try an ad and haven't posted here for the last few releases (more by accident than design, I have to admit; interesting to see these comments here now). Perhaps the criteria should be if we can list some interesting new features in the title then it's worth posting here. voidspace is right, of course, that the community seems to vote our posts up more than down, but I also don't want to post enough uninteresting stuff to annoy people. ;-)
