I usually comment before I code. This allows me to follow a clear and concise thought pattern. I make it a part of my pseudocode. I've found that 30 minutes of writing what I want the code to do, saves me hours bashing my face against the keyboard trying to code my way out of a corner. A clear understanding of where you're going can only be done ahead of time.

I'm extremely fond of Pyzo. I never see anyone recommend it. I'm pretty sure it's because nobody knows about it, so it never gets listed as an option. It's pretty slick and simple.
