Latest jEdit has support for a Python-plugin
which is able to parse Python and display
methods/classes in separate pane and it can
be used to access the Python shell and it has
support for debugging. :-)
Source editing and navigation is fine, though
debugging seems to need some more work.
This plugin is still in development.
The Tk based editors tend to get too slow
on my PIII 800 MHz on XP 128MB, the longer the app
runs and the bigger the source code amount gets...
