I've used IDLE so far but I might check out DrPython or any other editors suggested because I really do not like IDLE. Like how it doesn't run seperately from the debugger, so if you happen to have a bug that freezes or crashes or program it kills your editor too. And it doesn't completely exit the program.
Oh, and one of the biggies, there is no horizontal scroll bar. Since god forbid I mess up some white space by putting commands on multiple lines, a horizontal scroll bar would be a very very helpful addition

.. i'm not bitter.. no..

I'd use other text editors if they were reliable to handle the tabs and whitespace issues.
