As a Python newbie, it is interesting to know what IDE's ("GUIs/editors") others use for Python coding.
If you can just give the name (e.g. Textpad, Eclipse ..) that will be enough. If it is already mentioned, you can just vote for it.
But if you can also give some more comparative information, that will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't mention basics like Syntax highlighting as I expect these by default.
This is a just dry list reflecting your feedback and comments, I am not advocating any of these tools. I will keep updating this list as you keep posting your answers.
PS. Can you help me to add features of the above editors to the list (like autocomplete, debugging, or etc)?
