I just recently started hacking in emacs, to enhance the python-mode and 
  make pdb work with persisten breakpoints (by that I mean BPs that 
survive one debug-session).

Code-folding isn't currently on my agenda, but an interesting idea. 
given that e.g. ecb already has structural analysis buffers, there are 
python-aware code parsers (cedet?)

So it shouldn't be too hard. The only interesting/important thing would 
be to integrate it with ecb because I wouldn't want several parse-runs 
at once.


BTW, I can highly recommend flymake for running pylint over the sources! 
That really helps me a lot these days!
