I don't know that you'll find a common approach.  I use Subversion for 
version control.  For larger projects, I use Eclipse with the Pydev 
plugin for editing, and the Subclipse plugin for talking to Subversion. 
  For smaller things, I usually just edit with SciTE and use the 
TortoiseSVN Explorer extension or the command-line utilities for 
checkins and updates.

Peace,
