Python for Windows by default comes with IDLE, which is the barest-bones IDE I\'ve ever encountered. For editing files, I\'ll stick to emacs, thank you very much.

I replaced cmd with Cygwin and Poderosa. May be a little overkill though, if the only problem you have with cmd is that it's a pain to resize.
Although you use Emacs instead of Vim, so I guess you're into overkill... ;-)
