I'm agnostic; lots of IDE's/editors have buzz, you should learn to use
at least a couple well:

- vim, emacs
- Wing, Komodo, Textmate (OS X only)
- jedit, eclipse,
- eric, PythonWin, kate, leo, etc.

Check the wiki:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/DevelopmentTools

then google c.l.py for how your most desired features are supported:
syntax coloring, SVN integrate, auto-complete (if you think it helps),
pylint, threaded debugger, smart tags, object/class/code
folding/browser etc.  This guy spent a lot of time composing this:
