Pyloft vs Pyzo
Both stand on python ides. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Pyzo combines an interactive shell with an editor and built-in programming tools, and works with system-installed Python interpreters. Users need to install both Pyzo and a Python environment before running code.
