You will see that people like Robin Dunn are very very good, but you 
know no one is perfect and who knows who made the mistake in the book 
example ;-)

I use Boa as an IDE, when I started programming with wxPython I liked 
having a screen designer, a debugger, a source editor and help search 
all in one.

For your particular problem it has some nice features.
- if you typed something incorrectly, i.e. a syntax error it will show 
that when you try to save your file, click on the entry and it jumps to 
the line where it found the problem (a little note often syntax error 
are probably a line or two earlier).

- when you run your application and it has throws an exception the 
exception information is written to the output file and you can double 
click on a line of the exception and it jumps into the source code.

Take it easy and have fun with wxPython
