Which IDE are you using for Python development and why that one?

I have been using IDLE for quite a while, and for small scripts it is a great tool, but now I want to start a bigger project and think about trying a different IDE with more features, e.g. line numbering, code completion, auto-closing brackets etc. It would be great if I could use the same IDE for different languages including Java SE, C, C++, HTML, PHP, CDs JavaScript, but that is (for me) not mandatory.

Wing IDE is also a decent option. There’s a ton of IDE’s out there, just find one that suits your needs :)

I use PyCharm. It's a very versatile high quality IDE, there is a free community edition, and I'm used to the interface.

Have you tried Notepad ++? It supports multiple languages and although you can't run it directly, you can do it via Command Prompt. 😉 Or you could use PyCharm and Geany, two others I use, but they cannot support multiple languages.

@Stefan its not really all that different than IntelliJ IDEA. I think you can actually use IntelliJ, but you may need the purchased edition. I'm not really sure about that you may also be able to just install a plugin on the community edition. I use it because of its similarities and familiarity with IntelliJ as I already know how the user interface works.

Thanks for all answers, I really appreciate the feedback from all of you and will look at your recommendations one after the other. To those using PyCharm: what is so different to IntelliJ IDEA?
