Allows debugging multiple threads in Jython and Python (It is featured as a 'Python IDE' plugin for Eclipse).
Wing IDE
Mac OS X, Linux, Windows
An IDE that can debug multiple threads in code launched from the IDE or code launched externally, running under CPython and Stackless Python. The GUI includes a Debug Probe, which is a Python shell running in the context of the paused debug process. The IDE's debugger also features value watching (by symbolic path, object reference, or a combination), conditional breakpoints, debugging of tests running in the integrated unit testing tool, special support for Zope2 and Plone, and How-Tos for debugging Turbogears, Django, Google App Engine, wxWidgets, PyQt, Tkinter, CGIs, and many other packages.
Komodo IDE
