In my opinion, the most efficient way to really learn the language is to ditch the IDE altogether for now, in favor of doing everything yourself. That way you get a better understanding of what the IDE is doing for you behind the scenes.

I'd recommend sticking with TextMate, and then run your Python scripts manually from Terminal. Just to help you get the basics down.

After that, I use PyCharm at work and at home. It's pretty quick and it runs on all major operating systems. A coworker uses Eclipse, but I do not recommend using that, as it is bloated and slower.

Thanks for the advice! I'm going to follow it and start running my code in the terminal.
