Many people stick with the standard Python-included Idle.
Others use their favored *nix editor on Windows (usually Emacs or VI(M))
Some have found they love SciTE.
If you could get Eric3 running on Windows, it'd probably be /very/ nice.
The editor component of Boa Constructor is pretty good (haven't used it
in a while), but is a bit sluggish.
SPE (Stani's Python Editor) is also pretty good, though can be slow at
times, and uses MDI, which people usually love or hate.
I use PyPE, find it to be a satisfactory replacement for Idle, and is
quite fast. I wrote it, which is why I place it at the bottom.
There are many other general text editors with some sort of Python
support, but I don't use any of them, so I'll not talk about them.
