Python IDE

I want to try a new IDE/editor for coding (mainly) in Python.

I'll have to work on a project for a website with CheetahTemplate, SQL, HTML, CSS.

So.... what would be GREAT:
1) integration with VCS (Bazaar for me)
2) syntax highlighting for the above markup/programming languages
3) project view (or something of the sort)
4) auto completion for Python at minimum

So far, I've tried Eclipse (with Pydev and a Bazaar plugin) and Geany.

I don't like Eclipse for several reasons:
- too much memory. I have to work sometimes on my old laptop
- Is a pain in the a** to configure, mantain it stable ecc.
Things I like about it? Auto complete works.

things I like in Geany:
- found a plugin which works with Bazaar
- light
Things I want? auto completion

Right now I'm inclined to scrap Eclipse altogether and starting to use a combination of geany, cssed, an HTML editor (haven't chosen on yet) with geany used to make little tweaks while working on python code as needed.

Using Vim is a possibility, because sometimes I may need to make some changes via SSH and I think I've heard of an auto completion plugin for python somewhere.

Time is not an issue here, so I want to explore every possible alternative, because I want to stick with it for as long as possible.

What would you use?

Re: Python IDE

You could try pida in the AUR.  Don't know if it does what you want though...
