The question of IDEs is a common one, and is a matter of aesthetics as much as functionality. Many of use use general-purpose development environments, which will repay learning in much broader range of tasks than only Python programming. Here is a Wiki page on the topic, with discussions and reviews . My main advice: Avoid non-free (that is, proprietary) software for your development tools. Learning a set of development tools is a significant investment, and you should not tie that investment to a single vendor; if they lose interest for whatever reason, your investment is stranded. Free software is essential to ensure your tools can continue beyond the copyright holders of today. -- \ “Corporation, n.
