Depends on what you want to do. I am mostly writing django apps at present, so I use aptana with the pydev plugin. Being built on eclipse, it's not fast and it uses loads of memory, but it allows you to edit css, js, html and python files with variable name completion etc. and even a debugger should you want it. It's also handy in that it behaves more-or-less the same on macs and PCs. A minor annoyance is that pydev's preferred directory structure for projects is not the same as django's. You can probably configure it that way but I haven't figured out how.
For non-django stuff I usually just use vim. I haven't written anything big this way though so I don't know how vim would scale to something with hundreds of .py files in loads of different directories.
