Personally, I use Eclipse with the PyDev plugin but also give PyCharm
a try. Just choose what you feel comfortable with. The Nova code has a 
lot of unit tests which are the best documentation how the code should 
behave. They are also easier and faster to execute than to start a whole
system and debug it remotely. The Nova docs explain how to do it with 
the tool *tox* [1].
