Editor for Python: A PLEA

I'm a vi man myself.  I've made great strides recently in compiling vim
(my fave clone) with a python interpreter (ie, I can script Vim with
Python), as well as several other aspects.

I've learned, however, never to dog on Emacs in this ng. Emacs appears
to be very widely used among some Pythonistas, and I'm in the penalty
box as it is being a double agent (Python _and_ Perl!).

Besides, all I'd really need to run Emacs is 10 fingers...per hand. =)
