Adam just informed me the other day that Activestate released a new version of Komodo.
Here is the new stuff with the 3.1 release
Key Features
* Subversion support has been added to the Source Code Control system. Support for Subversion is limited to the same features and capabilities available for CVS and Perforce. For more information, see Source Code Control
* Perl AutoComplete and CallTips support is available in this release. See AutoComplete and CallTips for more information.
* The Python debugger has been rewritten into a regular Python package, and now includes an extension written in C to provide performance boosts for large applications, or applications using various GUI toolsets (eg. wxPython).
* PDK 6 support is now built into the distribution and does not require a separate step to enable.
