help a newbie with a IDE/book combination

[mamadu at islamabad.net]

Hi,

I already have a couple of newbie books on Python itself, but would
rather get started with a nice to use IDE and I am therefore looking
for a good IDE to learn Python.  On my computer I have installed eric
(http://ericide.python-hosting.com/) but it lacks any kind of useful
documentation on its use.

Is there a good IDE which would be well documented out there?

Many thanks

Mamadu

PS: I use Debian GNU/Linux on all my computers, a 500MHz proc, 256MB
RAM.
