I'm new to python, got 10-20 years perl and C experience, all gained on unix

Now it's python, and currently mainly on my kubuntu desktop.
Do I really need a real IDE, as the windows guys around me say I do, or will
vim, git, make and other standalone tools make it the next 20 years too for me?
Oh, by the way, after 7 days I'm completely in love with this python thing. I
should have made the switch much earlier!

I use Eclipse only because it has PEP 8 and Pylint integration.
Ezio Melotti, core Python developer, said in personal chat, that he uses Kate.
IDEs aren't that useful when coding in Python.
I concur. I think it's because with a language that has 43(?) keywords and
I believe it's 12 different statement types, you can easily fit it all in
your head. What you can't fit in your head is found in the docstrings of
whatever you're using.
Give me an interactive interpreter, vim, and a web browser, and I'm more
than fine.
