Python IDE/Editor

Filed under: programming, linux, python

I’m currently looking for Python editor or IDE. I need to write a project for my studies and i decided i’d learn python during this project. So… i’m looking for a good python editor.
Here’s features i’d like to see:

  • free
  • code completion (that’s where emacs falls behind)
  • word completion (like Alt-/ in emacs)
  • multiple open files
  • colors customization
  • indentaion which will be ok by default most of the time (important thing in python)
  • it should work in linux ;)

I tried:
  • eric3 - i don’t like the code completion there
  • spe - unable to run it on my ArchLinux
  • mooedit - somehow word completion and code completion does not work for me
  • PyPe - somehow and code completion does not work for me
  • emacs - it has everything but code completion
  • vim - i don’t know too much this wonderful editor. Does it have it all?
Update 1
There’s also Pida & geany - 1st is vim based and second lacks auto complete

Update 2
I’m currently working on eric3.

What other stuff am i missing?
