You might want to check out iPython, then -- it's an interactive
Python interpreter that's meant to be used as a shell environment. It
has very useful help and auto-completion features.

If you're just talking about an IDE, you might want to try TextMate if
you're on a Mac. It's great. Notepad++ is good on Windows, but I
haven't used it in Python much, so I don't know about its indentation
features.
