Vim offers some intriguing possibilities for python:
If you compile Vim from source, the python interpreter can be "compiled into" 
the Vim executable. A number of Vim add-ons are available for python in this
configuration.
I also use emacs and xemacs which enables running the interpreter inside of 
the editor. Really nice feature!

IMHO: If one programs in more than one programming language, the
ultimate would be an editor/IDE that can accommodate all with similar
functionality and behavior for all.
