Best Python Linux distribution

Hi everyone,

What is the best GNU/Linux distribution (or the most preferred) for
developing Python applications? Ideally I would like one with both
Python *and* IDLE included on the install media (neither Ubuntu nor SUSE
have IDLE on the CDs), so that I can use it on machines without a
network connection.

Thanks,

-Anthony

You can prepare your own version of ubuntu with included software like
Eclipse + pydev

I would recommend a Debian based distribution like Ubuntu or Debian
itself :)
