I'm looking for GUI-ified IDE for python. I am thinking along the lines of JEdit. Any other recommendable options?

scite is your best bet:

syntax highlighting, auto-indentation, code popups, compile and interpreter buttons

JEdit or Jext are good... just keep a terminal window open to run your programs, not that difficult compared to pressing a 'run' button. Razz

or u can use the JConsole (or whatever it's called) plugin Wink

There's also an eclipse plugin for python..

Pick your text editor of choice and a terminal window. That is the best Python development environment.

I must say, objectively speaking, I find Komodo more comfortable than SPE. But that's just me. They're both very good.

Of course, as wtd says, there's a 99% chance that you don't need an IDE and a simple text editor will suffice.

Don't count vim out. Take a look at Cream, its a configuration for vim that has auto indentation and syntax highlighting built in, and lets you type right after opening the window Smile

The Python interactive interpreter is one of the best documentation tools around. Get used to accessing doc-strings.
