I'm not an Emacs fanatic, but that's where I live, mostly.  That pretty
well takes care of anything like code display, syntax highlighting, and
tagging things.

My main interest is in coordinating editing and compilation.  From this
stand point, an IDE makes little sense for an interpreted language --
that's one of the whole points of Python (to me -- of course everyone gets
their own thing out of it.)

Funny -- I can do this _later_ for over an hour when I'm busy
procrastinating!
