To go a bit further: never use TextEdit to edit source code of any kind, even in plain text mode. It's simply not designed for that. TextWrangler makes a great source editor and has some very handy features. However, for full-blown projects with many source files, etc. you may find it easier to use an IDE. Aptana is free and decent: http://www.aptana.com/. PyCharm costs money, but is amazing for Python projects; the debugger along is worth the price of admission, IMO: http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/
