I use Pydev, it is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE. Pydev does syntax 
completion, and also shows the documentation. It can run pylint and 
then cover your screen with red and yellow marks that show bad code. 

It is however too slow for large packages like numpy or scipy. After 
typing: 'from scipy inport *' it will pause for about half a minute 
when you type a dot. 

It is here:

You must first install Eclipse (SDK) to use it:

Kind regards,
