Hi Michael,


Let's see... there's a link to many text editors from Python's wiki-wiki
page:

    http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/PythonEditors

Too... many... choices!  *grin*



But have you looked at Scintilla's SciTE editor?

    http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html

It appears to do what you're looking for, and it has a pretty good
following; I've heard it recommended on Tutor several times.

         &list_name=python-Tutor&type=Archive_python-Tutor_list&start=20



I believe that it's the text editor that's used in the PyCrust project:

    http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2002/07/18/pycrust.html

and I've heard some really good stuff about PyCrust lately; it's worth a
look.


Good luck to you!
