Hello,

I think, it is.
But SciTE is also nice (you can start Python Programs with F5, IIRC, and
you see the output of your program).

But I personally recommend DrPython. (Not only, I'm a member of the
project).

It is very customizable (Keyboard Shortcuts, customizable right-mouse
popup menu, Syntax Check, you can define your own scripts or macros and
you can extend it with plugins, as there are several available).

(Find/Replace in Files, Sessions, Code Completition, Document List,
Position Marker, Autocomplete, Incremental Search, Abbreviations

You can open several Python prompts in the editor and start your
currently typed program and view the output.
It is written in wxPython, open source and under development.

I use it for all my Python typing and development.
