::   Someone else mentioned a folding editor - the old GFA Basic (it was a
:: structured variant with editor-ENFORCED indentation-as-control but also
:: keywords) editor/IDE (originally for the Atari ST, but it was ported to
:: PCs and Amiga) had function folding that operated on a single keypress
:: in that function...  This made reading and studying big programs MUCH
:: easier, because you could see the overview of all functions available,
:: then look inside any one you wanted quickly.  There have been
:: threatening noises in the function folding direction from vim lately,
:: too.


For Linux-based Python development teams willing to consider a
commercial product with strong project management features
($150/commercial seat, $50 for private use) there's C-Forge, a nicely
done IDE with support for 20 languages, including Python. It has a
folding editor and class browser. There's a 30-day trial version at:
