I  use wingware's python wing IDE for any sizable project [more than a few
files, work on it for more than a few days]. It is a python specific IDE.

http://www.wingware.com/wingide-personal/index

It is commercial, but they have a starter version which albeit has a lot of
features switched off but should have all the necessary requirements for
python and is more python specific than other alternatives. At the risk of
sounding like a commercial, I will say that I was very happy with it and
bought a few  personal licenses to support their great work.

Having said that,  most of the time I just stick with vim  for those one
time script edits or work on  servers.
