I personally like Aptana because it's incredibly easy to browse my source code, with hyperlinks and visual cues to required args and kwargs, not to mention docstrings, etc. It also has some degree of support for django templates and allows you to configure different python interpreters (i.e. virtualenvs) that can be used for running your project from within the IDE or through debugging with breakpoints. Now about the OP, this is the reference you should be following: http://blog.vlku.com/index.php/2009/06/10/djangoeclipse-with-code-complete-screencast/ Note that Aptana is just a slightly modified version of Eclipse (in both its plugin and standalone flavors), so nearly everything you read about the latter applies to the former.
