Request for simple a customisable Python editor

An execellent idea! Do it at the OS level and then any editor/tool
would work.
I will deploy on win32 s oI'm no sure how well Juha's idea of pipes
works. I know NT/XP support pipes to some extent.

One wrinkle would be the need to provide UI to select the DB field
required. That would need to be run as part of setting up the
'file'/pipe and so would be an extra step to just 'opening' the
'file'. Perhaps *all* could automatically be made available but you
would still want search mechanisms.

hmm....
