Answer 6

Thanks a lot for the help, ill try them out... I have been having trouble finding one that runs on windows 8. I just recently installed the developers release.

Answer 7

since you have installed the windows 8 developer release, let me tell you there are less chances that you will find softwares for it because it is released to do so.

Answer 8

if you cant find IDE for dev. release try something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2Pm9q8eUhw

Answer 9

You could partition your drive & install Ubuntu (a Linux-type OS) along side Windows 8. Ubuntu even comes pre-packed with Python. I suspect you would find lots of solutions for the lack of software that way.

Answer 10

Aptana with pydev plugin
