In my experience its vim and a couple of command shells.
But that's to do with
a)what I use Python for and
b) many years experience using vim
It may not work for you (and you could substitute emacs
for vim if your fingers 'speak' emacs).

These are chalk and cheese.
If you just want to write a few basic scripts then IDLE is
a good choice. SPE is better if you want tov do GUI work
or bigger projects.

PyDev on Eclipse is great if you already use Eclipse or if you
are doing multi-language projects - and have a big modern PC...

Whatever best matches what you are trying to do and your
existing experience. And that may be more than one!
