Its not so much tthe editor that matters as the OS!
Are you using Linux(I suspect) or Windows or MacOS?
(Or something else!)

There are several that do this but many are OS specific.
The PythonWin IDE that comes as standard in the winall 
package or the ActiveState version of Pytthon can do this.

I'm prettty sure Blackadder, Wing and Eclipse will do it too.

Tkinter is usually built in to Python. If you are compiling 
from source (on Linux?) You need to configure the makefile 
to include it, but most pre-built packages will have it.

Personally I just use vim and an interpreter prompt! :-)
Because of the dynamic nature of Python I tend to know 
what options I need  before I get to typing in the editor so 
parameter pop-ups etc are less valuable in Python than 
in C/Java etc.
