Python & IDE's

Okay, so I have been going through some ebooks for Python and I'm just wondering if there is an IDE out there that will let me do what the built-in IDE will do. Anyone have an opinion of their favorite IDE to use? Preferably one that is open-source or free (there is a reason behind this).

Thanks!

Eclipse with the Python plugin seems to be a community favorite. I believe a distro of Eclipse called Licliple comes with it already installed (although just Googling it, it would appear some versions of Liclipse are commercial). Outside of that, one of the best is out of all of them (and my personal favorite) is PyCharm, but that is not free nor open source. It is a Jetbrains IDE that is based on IntelliJ IDEA.
