I'm new to Ubuntu and know it has a command line version of python already installed. However, I want a full text editor. What python editor would be best? How do I install it?

A: 

I did a little googling, heres what I found link text

Try this, seems like Stani's Python Editor is the best freebie out there

A: 

If you're using stock ubuntu (and not kubuntu, for example) you'll already have gEdit installed. Plenty of resources are out there to configure it to by python friendly (http://linil.wordpress.com/2008/05/31/using-gedit-to-auto-complete-python-code/ for example).

If you prefer an IDE, NetBeans has some tennative support (http://wiki.netbeans.org/Python ) but I wouldn't rely on it.

This seems to be almost a repeat question from SO. From that discussion, I can tell you that I like Eclipse with PyDev.
