True, it is really not that necessary to use a SUPER-HEAVY IDE as Java development requires. But since I am still addicted to Eclipse, Here is my development environment:

(1) Eclipse + Pydev + Pydev Extension

(2) Associate the system editor gedit/VIM to view and edit the python code

(3) Install the corresoponding python plugins and color scheme for gedit

The good thing about this settings is that we can easily take advantage of both editing environment, and sync the code automatically.

Use pydev to organize projects, compile, source control, debug Use gedit/vim to edit code
