I have a limit of 30-45 dollars to buy an editor (with Python support, obviously) . Here's what I would like. Customizable syntax highlighting (like the kind in Notepad++). Auto indent, so it autmatically indents 4 spaces after a ':' character. Good code completetion. A built in IDE. Preferably like IDLE. I don't know what I should get. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Jump to PostI use Aptana, its a free web dev tool but you can install a python plugin
Jump to PostThe only one that comes to mind is the Wing IDE from:
http://wingide.com/wingideThere might be a trial version you can test drive.
Jump to PostI tried wing IDE personally, i got the personal version. Though i do not use it any more, it actually wasn't nearly as good as it looked like it would be.
Now i just use Netbeans with a python plugin, it works a charm :)
Jump to PostI tried Netbeans and found it very awkward, especially for Python code. I have Windows and mostly use PyScripter. I can run code initially from memory and don't have to make a project out of it.
