What text editor is everyone using for Python

[Jean-Michel Pichavant]

Why buy an IDE when you just need a text editor ? I don't get it.
Anyway gvim (aka vim aka vi) and emacs are the most powerful editors for 
years. Both have Windows and Linux version and most important, they both 
are very effective at editing any file type (python, C, latex, love 
letters...)
Emacs is more accessible to the newby but requires time to master its 
complex features.
Gvim may be complex for the newby due to its command/insertion mode 
constant switch, but is as powerful as emacs can be. Being a gvim adept, 
I should stat that gvim is far better but it would only feed the 
neverending war.
