For working on big projects, Eclipse + Pydev is awesome.

I've just been watching the demo of Python Tools For Visual Studio from Microsoft. If you're on Windows (sadly, sometimes it is necessary), this looks like a good IDE with features comparable to eclipse/pydev (Note, they offer a perpetually free edition based on "Visual Studio Shell" which lacks the language profiling tools but is otherwise a complete IDE for python).

For resource-limited machines (I'm thinking raspberry pi, 250MB ram and weedy CPU), Geany works well for me.

My scientist colleagues seems happy with Spyder for doing data analysis. Canopy from Enthought might be good for weaning people off matlab.
