FYI: If you're looking for a decent editor and IDE for Python (and other languages), which also happens to be in GTK (a big plus for me), check out Tide: http://hare.net.au/~neilh/ScintillaTide.html You will want to make sure TideGTK.properties is copied to $HOME/TideGlobal.properties It's a little slow at scrolling, but it has standard Mac/Win keybindings, syntax styling, line numbering in the margin, and starts the Python interpreter from the menu.
