What If Python Replaced Elisp?

[Warren Postma]

Why rewrite EMACS? Why not start from scratch with Python and see what
develops?

I never learned EMACS because I hated LISP. I took a LISP course in 2nd year
CompSci.  Blech!

I would love an Editor written in Python, scriptable in Python.  IDLE is
great except for when I need to use a command line machine. In fact, I find
a text screen less distracting when I'm writing reams of code.  I think a
Python+Curses based editor would be great. Does such a beastie exist?
