I like spyder. Version 2.3 (in beta) supports python 3. It has variable and object inspection, class/source hierarchy panel, embedded ipython console (if you have zmq installed) and other nice stuff. You could try installing it from the repository in a virtualenv with pip install hg+https://bitbucket.org/spyder-ide/spyderlib if you're feeling adventurous. There are also installation instructions at https://bitbucket.org/spyder-ide/spyderlib/overview where there's a Windows version. It's probably simplest to go for a release version.
I've been using 2.3b3 for a few months on and off with no problems (via MacPorts, py33-spyder-devel, specifically). It works best with pep8, pylint, pyflakes, rope (being replaced with something else soonish, though, I forget what) and I think a few other support(ed) modules installed as well as the required dependencies. I suggest you tweak the code introspection features in preferences (and generally set things up as you like there).
