  I use emacs. Oh, I work on the linux OS - no Pywin here! :-)
  Because I am also a lisp programmer, I can write code in elisp to leverage
  emacs to be more productive. One thing I haven't looked into but am meaning
  to is a system call pymacs, (quoting the synopsis)
"""
Pymacs is a powerful tool which, once started from Emacs, allows both-way 
communication between Emacs Lisp and Python. Pymacs aims Python as an 
extension language for Emacs rather than the other way around, and this 
asymmetry is reflected in some design choices. Within Emacs Lisp code, one 
may load and use Python modules. Python functions may themselves use Emacs 
services, and handle Emacs Lisp objects kept in Emacs Lisp space.
