Screenshot for DrPython (click to enlarge):

Ok, now the list of features:
Overall: 4 out of 10.
- Comes in zip file. No executables inside. README file says "just run drpython.pyw". Nothing happens.
- Had to check sources and figure out drPython.pyw simply launches drPython.py
- drPython.py, when launched from command line, returns ImportError: No module named wxversion. Why the hell they aren't bundled together?
- WxPython download from SourceForge doesn't work (unicode version for python 2.5). After quite some time proper sourceforge download page comes, but the file is still not available. Downloading ansi version.
- Finally, after wxPython installation, drPython comes up.
Ok, now the list of features:
- It does fold code properly.
- Smart indentation (at least I don't have to press Backspace ten times when going out of intented block like in Zeus)
Quite a strange and uneasy default color coding (too much red color). Has a feature to customize colors, no color picker though — please submit color codes in hex (like, #FF0000). Actually, there are active sliders and you can see result of your changes. That's good. And if you're a designer and know the proper colors by hex value — you can't set them in editbox — it's read-only. I'm not a designer, but still count it as a minus.
- Plugin list doesn't work.
- Plusses - it's free and opensource. So you can hack on it and change something to make it work exactly the way you want.
Overall: 4 out of 10.
