One for vim,
One for the Python interpreter
One for an OS shell used for running/testing the app plus any
miscellaneous Unixy type things I need to do (sed/grep/awk/git etc).

I'll usually also have a web browser for reading
documentation if necessary, although that's mostly
done in the interpreter using dir()/help().

Alt-Tab and the X cut 'n paste mechanism provides
enough integration between windows.
