Asking about editors for programming in Unix is a bit like asking people
about what religion they think is best.

That said, you should try Vim 7.0 (you probably want GVim). It now has
Intellisense-like completion which works with a variety of languages,
including Python, though I have never used it.

It is also lightweight, and highly multiplatform - it runs on Unix, DOS,
Windows (3.1 and up, and CE), AmigaOS, OS/2, Mac OS X and Classic, a
bunch of PDA OS's, OpenVMS, and a few others. Vim is installed by
default in nearly all Linux distributions, and in OSX 10.3.
