You may want to try ipython (http://ipython.scipy.org). It gives you under
Windows (or linux, or OSX) colored tracebacks, tab-completion, directory
management, integrated pdb loading on uncaught exceptions, profiler support,
and quite a bit more.

I don't use windows, but under linux my development setup is Xemacs+ a terminal
with ipython running. Thanks to ctypes and UNCreadline, you get exactly the
same functionality under windows (along with your editor of choice). I
honestly find it to be a _very_ efficient setup.
