"Worse"? Now that's harsh. I'm with billie on this one. I usually spend a day or so every 3 months trying to find a free python editor that surpasses IDLE. I've been doing it for 3 years now and for me, IDLE is still king of the hill. 

What I like about IDLE is that it is configurable, intuitive and rock stable, and I've come to realize that combination is rare indeed in the world of free editors. 

Another pro for IDLE is that you probably already have it installed, since it comes included in the standard python releases. If you decide to give IDLE a go you might also want to check out the latest subversion version of IDLE, since it has a bunch of really useful syntax helper updates.

Cheers!
