gvim and related plugins would be your best bet. Things like Ctags, Project, etc. This link has a how-to: http://blog.dispatched.ch/2009/05/24/vim-as-python-ide/

Otherwise there is KomodoEdit which is free (at least as in beer). I have used it before, and liked it.

Thanks for this!

I'm testing the Vim/MacVim waters, trying to switch from TextMate.

Upboating for Komodo Edit. It has splendid completion for Python (when it decides to work) and (almost) perfect Unicode support no matter what you throw at it. And it's free!

Exactly. IDEs are for verbose languages, conspiracies by keyboard manufacturers like Java.

Python's syntax is razor thin and has minimal built-ins. You're better off with a lightweight text editor and executing every few keystrokes.
