   Yes. You could try an updated version of Scintilla by downloading SciTE
from
http://www.scintilla.org/wscite149.zip
   open it up and rename the SciLexer.dll file to Scintilla.dll and then
copy into the top level Pythonwin directory, often found just under the
Python22 directory.

   This still will not display arbitrarily long lines of text due to various
API limitations and graphics server bugs.
