This fixes my problems win PythonWin. SPE chokes now when the program
exits, but it doesn't seem to choke in the same way as before.  Thanks
for suggesting this!
This still isn't going to be a great solution. If your program errors out with any exceptions or problems, your PythonWin session will likely be broken. This is mainly a PythonWin problem. It runs the program it is debugging in the same process as the editor. This makes it very easy for any program to break the editor, and any graphical programs or gui's will definitely break.

When I'm on windows I usually use the simple Scite editor with a command prompt. Scite is pretty nice but hard to configure. With Python2.3 the new IDLE editor can interactively debug pygame and other graphical programs.
