The official Python IDE is IDLE:

https://wiki.python.org/moin/IDLE

https://docs.python.org/2/library/idle.html

Sadly, nobody can answer this question in an "objective manner",
because superiority depends on too many factors, including your

possible team guidelines, project requirements or system definitions.
