python editor poll

I'd actually gotten the opposite impression.  Most gurus who mention
their editors seem to use Emacs, and I believe Guido himself uses Emacs,
so...

I believe Emacs' superior python-mode may be due to this preference.

Um, Vim.  =)

You wanna start a flame war?  Say you're a Vimmer _and_ a Perler! I
learned my lesson!

Yes, I use the mutt+vim combo, myself.  You couldn't _pay_ me to change.

I'm watching that project with great interest, especially after trying
the code you posted to vim-dev and comp.editors.  BTW, when you figure
out which license to you, would you either post the result to vim-dev or
email me?  I'd appreciate it.

And, again, my deepest apologies for confusing you with "Simon."

All the best,
