Eclipse for Java is great! Is there an analogon for python?

Question

What IDE to use for Python?

I want to get serious with python and write bigger projects. And for that I need an IDE, that helps me concentrate more on thinking and less on coding.

Until know I used TextMate (Mac), vim, and notepad++ (Windows). editors like these are good to grab a file for quick modifications, but for me they don't seem appropriate for whole projects. (This is how I feel about it, no offense...) :-)

I want to use a webframework (perhaps Django?) to develop a webpage in python.

Desirable features are:

Code completion
Refactoring
Code Folding
Proposal of methods and attributes for standard modules and classes by the IDE
It would be great if it comes with a little documentation.
SVN would be great too!
Not necessary, but it would be great if it would work on Linux and Windows (and Mac)

Below the line I am looking for an IDE, that makes me as happy coding in python as eclipse does, when I code in Java.

Any recommendations? :-)

This link is to a french website. I don't speak french. ;-) – Aufwind May 19 '11 at 15:21
@Aufwind: Maybe the link has been changed since you tried it, but it looked like English to me. – Fred Larson May 19 '11 at 15:24
Now, it is not french anymore. Thanks. ;) – Aufwind May 19 '11 at 15:26
Sorry, I did initially put the wrong link. – André Caron May 19 '11 at 15:30

I recently switch from Eclipse PDT to PHP Storm for my development. I think you should try jetbrain's IDE for Python : http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/
