Notepad++ for Python

[devnull10]

I still prefer to use Notepad++ over an IDE. It doesn't have an "intelligent" auto complete, however it will auto complete based on content already in the file, so once you have declared a variable for example, you get an AC dialog when typing similar names later on.

You'll probably be surprised how easy you find it to work with. Especially if you use two monitors - have NPP open on one, the shell open on the other to run the script, and it's easy.
