[Tutor] Best Python Editor

[Kurt Bendl]

I've been pretty happy with WingIDE from wingware and have been  
impressed with the give-away version of Komodo from ActiveState. My  
fall back editor when I'm in a hurry on mac is still TextMate.    
Knowing my way around vim is essential, but I just can't commit to it  
as my primary editor.  (I guess I'm just not hard core enough.) I like  
Kate on Ubuntu as well.
