Coming from the world of Java, you probably are familiar with Eclipse? 
Might even have it installed already?

Eclipse comes with a very cool Python perspective, called Pydev. 
Installation instructions can be found at: http://pydev.sourceforge.net/

Code completion, syntax coloring, etc etc, in my opinion Eclipse/Pydev 
is one of the most convenient/advanced environments in which to work 
with Python.
