Really really impressive! Django development on windows is a PITA (compared to linux/mac), and all other (free) IDEs that I've taken a look at haven't really given me too much. I'll definitely give this a go for a test application to see what it does for me.

Thanks! Would love to get your feedback. Note that you can use PTVS for Django development/debugging & then push to a cloud of your choice (ie, not Azure) as well. See this link for some info: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/python/tutorials/django-with-visual-studio/ https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/python/tutorials/...

  What are the clouds of your choice other than Azure? I don't see them mentioned in the tutorial. I'm on Windows but my Python projects are on a Ubuntu VM and I push to AWS, Racksace Coud, dedicated servers, etc. My project can also interact with the shell, phantomjs, node js, Redis, etc. How can I benefit from the VS IDE for my python projects? I've seen mentions of Linux clients but not sure what they mean. thanks. I'm dearly looking for a good IDE with debugging support.

    Sorry i should have been more clear. I meant that you can take advantage of PTVS's editor/intellisense/template debugging facilities for Django, but then take further steps to push to another cloud yourself. Some folks have used PTVS this way for their MPI debugging w Linux for example. Also, Amazon has a good add-in for VS to interface with their cloud which maybe of use in your scenario: http://aws.amazon.com/visualstudio/ http://aws.amazon.com/visualstudio/

    Forgot to answer part of your question - the Linux/MacOS Client Libraries are a set of Python bindings for the services that Azure provides. They're hosted on Github here: https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-python https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-python ; and you can see a video overview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDvqNP_Ja5s&hd=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDvqNP_Ja5s&hd=1
