I like Emacs, that's true. However I'm not married with.
If a better tools exists for my purposes, I'll use it.

Until than lets write the code you need in Emacs Lisp, which should not be that difficult.

I use

GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i586-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.0) of 2007-11-24 on dede

with python-mode.el from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/python-mode/

AFAIK its the most advanced mode for all Emacsen.

You could give it a try.

Meanwhile I'll reflect a draft addressing your needs.

BTW, what about this stuff?:
