I am 100% on-board with giving JetBrains money, because their projects are amazing, however, I wanted to remind folks that PyCharm community edition is very, very powerful and not only free but also open source under an Apache license. I build it from master every morning and consider that process quite easy if the user is familiar with ant-based build systems.

It is madness to edit Python in vi when such a fantastic tool exists, is free/libre and also even offers vi-esque keybindings.

For the Windows world -- I was pleasantly surprised that Visual Studio Community Edition does a great job of enabling Python development. Intellisense is available for all modules I installed with pip. The templates are well-written without unnecessary junk. Debugging works very well.

I haven't tried the same for non-Windows platforms, but Visual Studio Code is free and should provide similar capabilities for OS-X and Linux.
