Right now I'm using the same tools you are, Eclipse/PyDev and then
running the project manually inside sugar-jhbuild.

I'm writing Sugar's own IDE, Develop.  Once it gets a little more
feature complete, I'll start recommending it to people.  But for now,
Eclipse seems to be your best bet.

Develop's wiki page:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Develop

I'm not aware of any particularly practical way to debug sugar
activities right now, but debugging support within Develop is definitely on
my TODO list.

Stay tuned!
