You might also want to take a look at pyCrust (gets installed with wxPython) which is the default IDE (IDLE) with a few nice extras. I use SPE (Stani's Python Editor) for editing and testing, it comes with winpdb (graphic debugger) already included and it's really nice. As soon as you get going check on easyinstall and virtualenv, two very nice tools.
