Run scripts with output going to bbedit. Run scripts in Terminal (say
you need standard input). Run scripts in the debugger (the terminal's
debugger).

You can even find things in the reference (err... pydoc).

You can use python text filters (run the selected text through a python
script -- say, hook it up to pychecker or something)


Oh yeah, and if you swing that way, it's got (optional) emacs key bindings.

And anything it does with python it can do with perl
