Is Eclipse suitable or is there any other development environment better?

Please give me some advices! Thank you!

Eclipse with the PyDev plugin is very nice. Recent versions even go out of their way to support App Engine, with builtin support for uploading your project, etc without having to use the command line scripts.

See the Pydev blog for more documentation on the App Engine integration.

I've always been using Vim (with or without plugins to make it more IDE-like) for Python programming, it's simple but powerful enough.

Wing IDE is a pretty solid IDE for python. It's not free though (open source or $$).

I have just found out that even Eclipse with Pydev is not a good one to write code, as sometimes, it does not automatically create tabs and spaces correctly, I had to spend hours to find out why always I have the tab indentation error, thank Ubervan, I moved to Komodo Edit and it helps ;)
