Very few people use an IDE, myself included.

The Dabo command window is an implementation of our dShell class.

The Dabo Editor has intellisense, code-completion, calltips, and
word completion.

This will take some getting used to. There is a graphical debugger
(Winpdb) but I use one of two techniques: lots of 'print' statements
in the code (akin to VFP's DEBUGOUT command), and pdb, one of the
standard Python modules that allow you to step through code from the
command-line.

Irrelevant. Python uses indentation to indicate logical code blocks,
so you cannot write code as you can in VFP and then later add correct
indentation. All Python code is beautiful by default. ;-)

Subversion. I use TortoiseSVN on Windows, and the command line on
Mac/Linux.

This is necessarily platform-specific. There is py2exe on Windows,
py2app on OS X, and PyInstaller for Linux (although PyInstaller is
supposed to be able to run on all platforms).
