Several have already been mentioned.

vim and emacs are the standards.
Geany is popular on Linux but also available on Windows/MacOSX

Jedit hasn't had a shout yet but does work cross platform.
Fairly lightweight.

Eclipse and Netbeans are the heavyweight options - very
powerful but need big machines to run them - the more RAM
the better. Both have Python plugins.

And there are many more....
