Which Python IDE can run my script line-by-line?

Question

I wouldn\'t call myself programmer, but I\'ve started learning Python recently and really enjoy it.

I mainly use it for small tasks so far - scripting, text processing,

I would plump for EMACS all round.

If you're looking for a function to run code line by line (or a region if you have one highlighted), try adding this to your .emacs (I'm using python.el and Pymacs):

;; send current line to *Python
(defun my-python-send-region (&optional beg end)
(interactive)
(let ((beg (cond (beg beg)
               ((region-active-p)
                (region-beginning))
               (t (line-beginning-position))))
    (end (cond (end end)
               ((region-active-p)
                (copy-marker (region-end)))
               (t (line-end-position)))))
(python-shell-send-region beg end)))

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
      '(lambda()
         (local-set-key [(shift return)] 'my-python-send-region)))

I've bound it to [shift-Return]. This is borrowed from here. There's a similar keybinding for running .R files line by line here. I find both handy.
