I am editing my Python scripts with SciTE
(http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html), and start them by pressing F5
in
this editor.  The interpreter is also startet in a separate process.

Thanks for mentioning my little Kit.  I added a few screenshots and
beautyfied example code.  I hope now it's even more easy to understand
how
to use KineticsKit.

Enjoy, Markus
