[Visualpython-discuss] Is Visual Python out of beta status?

RE: [Visualpython-discuss] Is Visual Python out of beta status? | [Visualpython-discuss] RE: Are exceptions handled/shown in Visual Python?
I downloaded the 30 day trial yesterday.  I want to like this product, but I get the feeling
 it's still in beta but with a 300 dollar price tag.

 

 

There are two showstopper bugs

â?¡       Visual Studio crashes with Visual Python installed.  Not all the time, mostly when
 I'm exiting Visual Studio, but occasionally it's right in the middle of doing work.

â?¡       Within the solution Explorer, dragging a file from another project into a Python p
roject causes the file to be deleted!

 

 

 

And there are lots of other problems:

â?¡       the editor doesn't work well with Python spacing.  After I changed the options to 
use spaces instead of tabs, I got better results.  Every other Python editor figures this ou
t automatically

â?¡       the debugger does not handle the buggy program termination gracefully, I have to o
pen up the task manager and kill the Python debugger process

â?¡       the debugger doesn't let me change the value of a variable

â?¡       the "show all files" button isn't available in Python projects

â?¡       Python output goes to the "run" window instead of the output pane

â?¡       the command pane doesn't work

â?¡       where is the IntelliSense?
