 IDLE comes with standard Python and is OK for starters.

Pythonwin comes with ActiveState python (as well as IDLE) 
and is better for Windoze users.

Personally I use cygwin, bash, and vim.
Others use emacs...

And there are lots more including commercial ones. But I'd 
start simple with Pythonwin or IDLE...
