Can the python interpreter be easily replaced (say, with either ipython or sage)? Until you (we) have the sage interpreter, it isn't an IDE; it's just an editor. I don't think, for example, that supporting "a subset", or including just some modules, will suffice. >> I don't know that this will replace emacs, but I will give it a >> shot.

Maybe put the jEdit help back in until the sage version is ready? It can't hurt, and will probably help. > jEdit should be able to run Sage code with the appropriate plugin, but > I have not tried this yet. Are you sure about this?

I'm really not up for a running gun-battle with Java. Your packaging is a good start for removing the hassles from this kind of game. On that subject: I can't find a way to modify key bindings. Is it possible? If it doesn't walk, fly, and quack like emacs, it ain't a duck :-} Justin -- Justin C.
