I'd like to mention this because I've mentioned it before for anyone using Visual Studio already the Python Tools for Visual Studio are definitely on par with PyCharm I say this having used both. These are the two best choices I would offer anyone for Python development aside from just using whatever you favorite editor is with plugins (though Sublime seems to be a decent choice here). Edit: I also say this as someone who bought all the IDE's from JetBrains and because some people might have Visual Studio and only Visual Studio at their jobs.
