I'd actually recommend SciTE, from http://www.scintilla.org.  With a
little tweaking of config files, the python mode does very nicely at
syntax coloring, and it'll run your script in a second pane, jump to line
numbers from errors, etc.
The one thing that frustrates me is it has less than perfect support for
switching between open buffers, although  I hear that's fixed in the 
windows version.
