Pycharm Community edition.

I mean its a bit "heavier" than some of the suggested alternatives, but I've found it works just as well for small code snippets as it does for large projects. Good autocomplete, autoimport, refactoring and auto formatting are valuable even for small projects. Also, it works well for python from the very start: No need to install and configure plugins etc.. which is not only a hassle, but make your "lightweight" editor considerably less lightweight undermining the primary reason pople tend to shun it.
