Whether you want to quickly edit Python source code, write or debug whole Python programs, or use Python in an IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironment, you have a pleasantly wide range of choices.

There's a [http://www.python.org/editors/config.html Editor configuration HOWTO] available.

Thanks to the people who helped compile his list, including Alan Green for the [http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/758104 Python IDE summary] he posted to CompLangPython / the PythonList.
