I say it entirely depends on what your programming. For instance, if
creating a GUI, there is no question that a well developed high quality
IDE is a huge help -- from the point of view of stub generation and code
completion, as well as the GUI designer.
Conversly, if I'm writing a daemon or other text program, it matters
less. Code completion, syntax verification, and the like is still
useful (hence I use Eclipse -- but others do as well), but not nearly as
mandatory as it would be with other developments.

I found in the sentence
"What can you say about this IDE? He say's 'if I think it could
improve my productivity he's willing to buy it for me."
the indirect question:
Can a better Python IDE increase programmers productivity?
From my experience as (part-time) programmer I would tell, that the
actual productivity depends heavily on so many other things, that it
makes the IDE the last one in the chain of factors behind productivity.
What is your opinion?
Does the answer differ when coming from a programming team manager or
from a programmer himself?
If you are a Python software house manager, would you buy me the WingIDE
(a single OS license for Wing IDE Pro is $179 and a dual OS license is
$295) if I were working for you as a Python programmer or would you
point me to freeware solutions instead? Or would you expect me to buy it
myself as I should be interested to increase my productivity myself?
What IDE do the professional Python programmer teams behind Python
Software Foundation use?
And the most interesting question:
Which Python programming environment uses Guido van Rossum ???
