Hi, I swear by PyDev (http://pydev.org/), which is a plugin for Eclipse that gives you a full blown IDE for Python. For large projects, I think this is the way to go. For casual editing of python files, I still use Emacs or Vim.
The feature list is quite impressive. Among other things it features IntelliSense, so you can navigate to the source of a method by simply Ctrl-clicking it. It also has support for refactoring, so it is for example possible to change the name of a method by just right clicking it, select "change name" and choose a new name. Then all calls in the project to this method will be updated to use the new name. Having a syntax check, warning for unknown identifiers and the wrong number of arguments to functions directly in the IDE, saves a lot of time, since I for example don't have to run the code to see that I misstyped the name of a method. Pylint (http://www.logilab.org/857) is also optionally integrated directly into the IDE and that gives me increased code quality. I have tried lots of IDE's for Python, but PyDev is the one I go back to for large projects. Try it and see if you like it.
