While definitely not being a guru I use vims Syntax highlighting
plus these settings for all files ending in .py:

highlight Comment ctermfg=white

set smartindent
cinwords=if,elif,else,for,while,try,except,finally,def,class
set tabstop=4  
set shiftwidth=4  
set smarttab
set expandtab
set softtabstop=4  
set autoindent  

Depending on your style of coding you might want to tune them,
but they're pointers. They most probably have room for
improvement, too.

As for calltips, shell interaction and all the othe nifty stuff:
I don't use it. And while they sometimes sound cool I always
ended up being more annoyed than helped by them.

Greets,
Tobias
