Here we go, it's holy war time again! :)

You'll get a HUGE lot of responses. Many use emacs or vim, and you'll
get a few recommendations for IDLE. After that, it's a huge field of
options. I personally use SciTE; it's a good editor, but I don't
particularly like the way the project is run (nothing strong, but I
didn't like the tone on its mailing list). Eclipse has its fans, too.

A Python IDE is not nearly as beneficial as, say, a Java IDE. A good
Python editor just needs to do the basics like indentation, syntax
highlighting, and such; I like IDLE's method info when I'm working
interactively, but it's not a big deal when I'm writing a program. In
fact, all you really need out of an IDE can probably be supplied by
just a good editor, maybe a makefile, and alt-tabbing to IDLE.
However, if you want an IDE, they do exist.
