I tried Eclipse yesterday and today and needed a while until I got PyDev installed: You must add the update URL as new remote repository in the update wizard (see Help menu), it doesn't work to just copy the files; Eclipse3 seems to need a special (and missing) dotfile to recognize the new plugin. I didn't try to edit Python code yet, but I agree that the interface is rather non-intuitive and non-MacOSy, and I don't like that it needs very long to start (as every Java application on MacOS X, i.e. on my old G4/400), but perhaps the mightyness of Blackout, ehm, Eclipse is worth the hassle. (And I could use it for Perl, PHP, HTML etc. also) I just tried also Eric3 (seems to support only Apple's Python 2.3) and DrPython (starts fast, seems lean, has ugly icons), I will need some time to test them.
