I and a fair number of other Mac-using Pythonistas use an excellent,  
but non-free editor called TextMate (http://www.macromates.com). It  
handles Python quite well and has a lot of nifty features, although I  
personally just use it as your standard text editor w/ syntax  
highlighting and auto-indent. Overall it's well worth the price.

XCode also works fairly well, but it does not do proper Python auto- 
indenting although it does do the syntax highlighting. It will  
preserve indents but will not give you an extra indent after if  
statements and so forth. I only use it when I'm doing PyObjC/Cocoa  
programming.

Regards,
Jeff
