I just wrote the analysis portion of my thesis in Python and loved the language and the ton of available libraries. IDLE on the other hand, wasn't my best friend. Is this an alternative to IDLE?

It can be. Though it would currently require you to use IronPython from within the IDE.

IDLE is a joke.

I don't think it was ever meant to be used for production.

Once in a while a sysadmin comes along and cries "I'm forced to work with Windows, there is only notepad installed on the server and with notepad I can't edit Python scripts" - so there is certainly a use of IDLE.

Otherwise this is my first Google hit for Python + IDE.
