Is the only option using some kind of text editor? And if so, which text editor should I use? I normally work with C++ and I''m really used to having everything colored so its easy to read, I hate using a plain text editor. Is there any kind of editor for python that colors things so its clearer?

Python.org

You could try Textpad (after downloading the python syntax file).

Emacs and vi (and other popular editors along those lines) almost certainly have drop-in syntax colouring rules for Python by now.

idle is distributed with python.
There is a python mode for emacs too.

PythonWin?

There are a couple of Python plugins for Eclipse, too.
