First Windows and Mac versions of IDE are for sale today.  But will not
say as Linux version has not been made public yet.  I only have Linux
version as known the publishers for years.  I am doing my big project
sf.net using it.  I am thinking about do talk on this IDE in the future. 
My thoughts are that first talk about my project on sf.net and how it all
works, then month or so latter on this IDE.

The really cool thing is it can also include code which is in C and C++.

Never really used Python but I have see some really cool software written
using it.
