If you're working in Windows the Notepad++ and PSPad and old Crimson Editor (all free) all work nicely and are reasonably light-weight.

Idle comes packaged with Python, but can be a bit limited. If you can stand the learning curve (and a lot of people can't, it seems), Emacs and Vim are highly configurable and offer a lot of language-specific convenience functions. Basically, try a few different editors out and see what style you like. -- Rhodri James *-* Wildebeeste Herder to the Masses
From: Nick Raptis on 9 Jul 2010 13:02 Hello Dani! IDLE is very friendly for new users and has got me a long way when I was starting. You also can't beat that it comes bundled with Python. I'd also like to suggest the Python-Tutor list http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor for your "new-user" questions. Lots of helpful folk there, myself included.

If you want something more oriented towards python, have a try with "eric", that's the IDE name. The name's sucks a lot but I discovered it recently from an annoucement in this list, and I found it pretty impressive. Integrated shell, debugger, linter, refactoring plugin, UI designers etc... JM
