Atom and PyCharm seem to be up there.
You should try several until you find the one you like
It's sort of personal.

For in-line testing I would recommend jupyter. It allows - among other things - to interactively test small code snippets. You may use ipython for that - or Python console in PyCharm - but jupyter notebook is more convenient, especially when you want to copy the results into IDE. 

And it stores the history, which may be later reloaded and re-executed.
Test everything in a Python shell (iPython, Azure Notebook, etc.)
  • Someone gave you an advice you liked? Test it - maybe the advice was actually bad.
  • Someone gave you an advice you think is bad? Test it before arguing - maybe it was good.
  • You posted a claim that something you did not test works? Be prepared to eat your hat.

I'm admittedly into the really lightweight options, but I have really been feeling Geany for a while now. It is basically just a glorified text editor but a lot nicer than notepad++ in most regards.

Thanks for so many good advice.
I also hope that the IDE is equipped with a perfect python debugger.

I use PyCharm. It's debugger is outstanding. I expect that atom's is as well.
