I would try kate. kate is the KDE editor and is very nice, comes with color coded python syntax. I am running Ubuntu 9.4 and get errors every time I try to create a new app. Therefore I am going back to Google App engine. Every thing just works, and there is now magic going on that I don't understand. kate is nice, I have used it in classes I teach and have had no problems.
