*GOOD* Python IDE Needed

I like to program in python. The problem is I can't find any free python IDE's that have actual autocomplete (most just have a few functions builtin and autocompletes from that list), santax highlighting, and auto-indent. I have been googling for days and havn't found a decent one. I would have made my own but without a good IDE using wxPython is extremely hard without autocomplete (because it has so many functions to remember and I havn't used it much)

I'm not sure if you checked out the <a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?PythonPluginForEclipse">Python plugin </a>for eclipse. Right now it is in alpha, but eventually it may have what you are looking for. The link takes you to more of an overview page, not the actual project page.

Have you tried the "Py A La Mode" editor that comes with wxPython?

Alternatively, take a look at Eric3, which is supposed to be good too.

I got pydev for eclipse working. Its great! thanks a lot, I've been trying to get a good one for a long time.

mrben: yes I have tried it but I thought the interface was extremely bad and you had to go through the top menu to open up the autocomplete (the shortcut wouldn't work for me)
