Have you looked at CEFpython ?
It seems to work with all major GUIs (Qt, wx, Tk, gtk..)

I'm suprised no one in this rich thread has even mentioned SciTE : 
http://www.scintilla.org/

Admittedly it's closer to an excellent code editor than a full-blown IDE. But 
it's very lightweight and fast, cross-platform, has superb syntax coloring and 
UTF8 handling, and is highly configurable through its configuration file(s) and 
embedded LUA scripting. It's also well maintained : version 1.0 came out in 
1999, and the latest (3.7.2) is just a week old...

Its IDE side consists mostly of hotkeys to run the interpreter or compiler for 
the language you're editing, with the file in the current tab.
A side pane shows the output (prints, exceptions, errors etc.) of the running 
script.
A nice touch is that it understands these error messages and makes them 
clickable, taking you to the tab/module/line where the error occurred. Also, it 
can save its current tabs (and their state) to a "session" file for later 
reloading, which is close to the idea of a "project" in most IDEs.
Oh, and it had multi-selection and multi-editing before most of the new IDEs 
out there :-)

Personally that's about all I need for my Python activities, but it can be 
customized much further than I have done : there are "hooks" for other external 
programs than compilers/interpreters, so you can also run a linter, debugger or 
cvs from the editor.

One word of warning: unlike most newer IDEs which tend to be shiny-shiny and 
ful of bells and whistles at first sight, out of the box SciTE is
*extremely* plain looking (you could even say drab, or ugly :-).
It is up to you to decide how it should look and what it should do or not, 
through the configuration file. Fortunately the documentation is very thorough, 
and there are a lot of examples lying around to be copy/pasted (like a dark 
theme, LUA scripts etc.).

Did I mention it's lightweight ? The archive is about 1.5 MB and it just needs 
unzipping, no installation. May be worth a look if you haven't tried it yet...

Re: Choosing a Python IDE. what is your Pythonish recommendation? I do not know what to choose.
