I use Eclipse+PyDev plugin+commercial ($30) PyDev extensions (which
runs for free, but nags every hour or so.)   I has a feature set that  
no other
python IDE has at this point.  (Let me qualify that:  I haven't looked  
at the Iron
Python tools on windows, and they might be better, but I don't do much  
in
the windows world so I haven't looked at it yet.)
