If you want to standardise on one environment that is industrial strength and multi platform go for eclipse. its heavyweight but does it all. Not only is it open source IDE king but several commercial companies are moving their in-house IDEs to it as well - Oracle, Borland and IBM to name but three. With pydev installed its pretty impressive, so far as I can tell the only missing feature is a GUI builder! > a IDE that haves syntax highlighting and I also really like type > completion where the IDE gives you suggestions as you type.

It runs on most platforms so you can take your skills with you. The only snag is that it is big asnd beefy and needs a powerful box to run it well. If you want something lighter then try SPE, or even Pythonwin. I'm playing with wxPython's tools at the moment and ALa Mode looks promising too. But ulitimately I'm a long term vim user so tend to stick to the traditional Unix toolset personally...
