Hi, I have dual boot laptop and I would like to run a python IDE in the Linux Mint w/cinnamon install (sounds delicious, I know).

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good IDE that is free or inexpensive?

My personal favourite is WingIDE Pro but it's expensive (though you can get it free if you're an open source developer).

Other options

PyCharm (Community Edition) - a full on IDE

WingIDE 101 - A very lightweight simple IDE

My main reason for liking these IDE's is their simple debugging (no pdb like Spyder).

Other options include Eclipse/pydev based IDE's such as Aptana and LiClipse, but I don't like Eclipse much. Spyder is ok, but debugging is poor.
