But you don't have to download Eclipse to write Python code. That's one of the things about open-source style projects.
(granted that PyDev with Eclipse is the number one choice)
But look at this list

Many of the top ten are just simple text editors (maybe with dedicated plugins)
This flexibility of choice is a huge distinction of most non-MS products. Even if you choose Eclipse, it makes for a single dedicated IDE for most open source languages and platforms out there. When I swtiched from Java to RoR dev I simply loaded the RadRails plugin (since switch to TextMate) and instantly knew my way around the IDE. Even for a company the size of Microsoft, building in that much support for alternatives will likely never match Eclipse in the IDE space.
