The difficult choice of a python IDE

The first steps in python often begin with the simple environment that comes with python. After a while you start looking for something more and there's a lot out there: Python wiki on IDE's, some are commercial, some are open source. I've tried out some open source versions and can't say there's a winner.
Here is a nice list of the possibilities: Open source Python IDE's

For the moment I work with Spyder and Eclipse(PyDev) that comes with a package that's interesting  because it gives you a lot of functionality at once (Python x,y (scientific-oriented Python Distribution))

I also tried out Eric and Pyscripter and Eric seems also interesting when you want some more help with GUI development (Qt) and webenabled development (Django).
