One big difference from open sources and proprietary languages is that in open source we have lot of options. It is good, but some times we can just get lost in all options and not even know how to start. So, is difficult to choose and start from the best. I’m looking at Python at the moment, not at JPython or IronPython, so I have found the Dive Into Python book(It has a online free version), which mentions the ActivePython for their examples.
ActivePython has a free version (Standard in their site), although it is not open source. You can freely download the ActivePython at this url, it's currently on version 2.5.2.2, and it has version for different operation systems, like Linux, Mac and Windows. The windows version needs the Windows Installer.
The other option is to install a plugin in eclipse, the PyDev, which is easy using the Software Update of Eclipse. There is more information on how to do this here. And others manuals to get started on PyDev.
See this link about others IDEs.
