Broadening the discussion.
I guess my preference is to use Pippy for Python. The TA example is just to get people interested in digging deeper. I think it would be better to put effort into importing more of the TA environment into Pippy than making TA yet another Python editing environment. -walter ---- Regarding alt-tab, the behavior I am familiar with is to use alt-tab to cycle between all open activities and shift-alt-tab to reverse direction.
