Hey guys, so I'm starting to learn Python and am using IDLE right now to edit my source code. Do you have any other suggestions for better editors or is IDLE good enough for anything Python has to offer?

IDLE is the main editor for python, and it should do just fine.

You can use Eclipse. You have to download an extension for it to work though. It works really well.

The problem I have with IDLE and some other python IDEs is that the editor runs your code inside itself, so if your code crashes or freezes the entire IDE crashes which can get pretty damn annoying.

You could run the program from the command line.

Aptana Studio (either standalone or Eclipse plugin) or Pydev (Eclipse plugin). 

Or basic text editor with syntax highlighting and use commandline.

I use both Sublime Text 2 and IntelliJ IDEA. I do mostly Django devlopment and IntelliJ has a addon for it and prefer that. However, If you're just doing Python I recommend Sublime.
