Enhanced python editor

[amyst]

I'm looking for a reliable, feature friendly, fast python editor that can do Python syntax highlighting, Python class browsing, Python-compatible regular expressions, and perhaps more. Python class browsing is a must.

There are so many options out there, but I am not familiar with any of them. Any suggestions?

Take a look at the list here:

Personally I prefer Vim (http://www.vim.org/about.php) for Python development, though to get a class browser you'd need use ctags, or an add-on.

I hear good things about the pyDev (http://pydev.org/index.html) project, which is an Eclipse plugin. If you're looking for a heavy-weight IDE, that might be more suitable for you.

What do you mean by "feature friendly"?
Also, by "class browsing", do you mean symbol list, that is browsing your own classes; or browsing the standard library?

Geany has python syntax highlighting, symbol list that works for python, and regex search (& replace).
