I use IDLE. I find it is the perfect companion when writing Python
code. Plus it is easily extendible. I wrote a small plugin that gives
me a "recently opened files" menu on the File menu. Took maybe 20
minutes to write, and that's not because I am good. It's easy.

Anyway, I have used Emacs and Vim for Python coding before and I would
not recommend Emacs. It's interface and command syntax just get in the
way. Vim is okay, but again you need to learn the Vim commands.

Just my opinion. You need to try them all for yourself. Alot of other
people will tell you to use whatever they are using. It's subjective.
Your work style won't be the same as theirs so you should listen to
opinions and then try all of them.
