I use TickleText (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tickletext/ )
It doesn't have python syntax highlighting though.
I'm really just starting with python, and mostly hack tcl.tk,
in which TickleText is written.
It's good for writing html and LaTeX, and other stuff, too, and has
some other useful features.
It's certainly not as fat and bloated as Emacs (hehe...Emacs is cool, 
really).
I used to use medit or kate.
But then I made Tickle Text.
Kdevelop is nice if you want a full IDE that does recognize python syntax.
And, of course, if you are using Linux.  I don't use KDE (use fluxbox), but
I like some of these KDE tools.
