I found 'EasyEclipse for Python' soon after I began using Python. With 
PyDev, it even contains a Python debugger.
After adding a Mercurial plug-in, it has all I need for Python 
programming.
One disadvantage of EasyEclipse is, that they mangled the install/update 
system, so that it is very difficult to find the original Eclipse 
plug-ins/features.

So, in between, I replaced EasyEclipse by Eclipse, with all the plug-ins 
that came bundled with 'EasyEclipse for Python' installed by hand, but 
more actual versions.
In my opinion, it is a very convenient system for Python development, 
especially due to the debugger.
If you don't use the free PyDev, but the commercial one, you even get a 
debugger for remote debugging. Useful e.g. for debugging of blender 
scripts.
