Python community,

I help develop a text editor called EmEditor and we are about to focus
development on supporting the needs/wants of a select number of
communities. Our editor currently supports the development of over a
dozen languages with syntax highlighting, auto complete, plugins, high
configurability, etc. We get a lot of positive feedback but very
little from open source-positive communities like the Python
community.

The head developer and owner of our company responds to user feedback
so naturally the loudest communties get what they want while the rest
don't. I've been a fan of Python and I am very much interested in
developing an editor with Python and Python developers in mind but I
can't convince my boss to include Pyhon in our future plans if he
doesn't hear from the community itself. Even the Ruby community in
Japan makes itself heard!

To cut this short, I think this is a great chance for interested
parties in the Python community to have a say in the development of
another editor that actively tries to make itself useful to Python
developers. Our editor is shareware so of course it costs nothing to
try it out and start speaking up for the changes and features you
would like to see. There are a lot of nice environments in which to
write Python but it sure doesn't hurt to have another choice.

Thanks,
David Jansen
