SuSE Linux 7.3 Pro comes with Python 2.1.1, so IDLE comes with it.  IDLE
is located at /usr/share/doc/packages/python/Tools/idle/idle.py.

As for GUI development I am using Tkinter but am in the process of
switching to Qt (Qt is the best GUI toolkit I've seen so far).  I am
impress with Qt Designer that comes with SuSE.  Since I needed only an
easy to use GUI designer.  I can then generate C++ implementation class
from it and use PyQt (comes with SuSE as well) to hook up with Python.

If you wanted a heayweight IDE, take a look at Black Adder
(http://www.thekompany.com/products/blackadder/).

The only issue I have with Qt is the distibution of run-time libraries
to Windows.  In order to do so it cost you US$ 400.
