I've been using a very nice OS X shareware app ($10 after 45 days demo)
called irEdit to write my Python scripts. You can enter prefs for your
programming language to identify built-in terms which are color-coded, and
it's a very attractive editor - much nicer than the awful Unix editors. You
can set line-endings as unix, mac or dos, like BBEdit does. You can now
split the editor too.

And you can delete and left-arrow a tab indent in one move: that's a pref
you can change to use spaces for tabs instead (like Text-Edit Plus also
has), but the default is tab = tab. One-key un-indent.  You can get it at

<http://www.idearesources.com>   or

<http://home.idearesources.com/jsp/iredit.jsp>

. You can try it out for 45 days.
