I have 3 Fkey programed with KeyQuencer
F13 is 'import <module name>'
F14 is 'reload(<module name>)'
F15 is '<module name>.Main()'

I write in alpha, switch to Python using the controlstrip and press F14 F15.

OK each time I start work on a new module I have to change the Keyquencer
scripts, but that is no big deal.

I've attatched a simple  alpha python mode file - no doubt someone can
improve it.

# Description:
#	This file implements an AppleScript mode, for people who wish Script
#	Editor had complex functions like search and replace. Currently, it
#	only supports color editing and function finding, but I may extend it.
#
#	I have not found a way to distinguish function definitions from
#	on error constructs, so I assume that any "on name" statements at
#	the beginning of the line are definitions. Script Editor saves files
#	in this format, so you will only need to be careful when creating
#	functions in Alpha.
