That was a very quick, off the cuff list from my brain. It was not
intended to be comprehensive. I do hope TextMate is listed on the wiki
page at python.org -- if not, someone should add it.

Can the Python mode be altered/improved by users? Is TextMate open to
input/contribution from users? That is what it takes to really make it
shine. A couple years ago a BBedit user posted excerpts from an email
discussion with the BBedit folks about how they might improve BBEdit for
Python -- and it came down to the BBedit folks saying : you shouldn't
want to do that, and we're not going to let you -- it was clear none of
them was a regular Python user, so BBedit's Python support is still
severely lacking.
The primary reason I use Xemacs is because it has excellent modes for
EVERY kind of text I edit -- and ALL of them were written by serious
users of the respective type of text -- that's why they are so good
(didn't Guido write the original Python mode for Emacs?)
I'm still looking for an editor/IDE that supports everything I do, and
works on all three platforms I need it on -- Eclipse and Jedit look
promising, but I haven't had the courage to re-train my fingers yet!
