There is an ActivePython 2.5.1 now:http://www.activestate.com/products/activepython/

You should give Komodo Edit a try too:http://www.activestate.com/products/komodo_edit/
Thanks for the heads up Trent.

I love UltraEdit. It's not free, but very nice.

I also use Vim (well, GVim).

The only thing I find missing is an integrated console for running
code snippets/entire scripts. The runscript plugin is OK, but lacks
interactive use. I have been thinking about some way of interacting
with a Python shell using sockets to send snippets directly to the
shell from Vim, but haven't had time to get very far.

What method of executing code snippets in a Python shell do other Vim
users use? Other than just copy/paste?

I prefer PsPad.

If you like Notepad++, PSPad might be a better choice. More intuitive.
I've used Notepad++ for a while, I really disliked the fact that every
new install my settings XML file would get overwritten, and what does
that guy have with Comic sans MS? Every default style is hard coded
into the app, to that strange oddly looking style for comments etc.

Anyway, I do not want to get too personal. PsPad is very nice, I also
use more python-like editors like SPE and UliPad.

And still use ConTEXT from time to time when I have big (MB) xml files
to look at.

Not vim, but good old vi so should work in vim

1. Mark the start of the fragment, for exampls ms (to mark
with label s). Labels a through z are available.
2. Move to the end of the fragment.
3. :'s,.w !python to send the fragment to the python
interpreter

Worked for me when I tried it a few minutes ago. I had never
bothered before - just copied/pasted.

Obviously, you can also mark the end, move to the start and
do something like :.,'ew !python or mark both the start and
the end, or use line numbers, or labels plus offsets, or
searches, eg :/def/;+5w !python to search forward to the
next occurrence of "def" and send that line plus the next
five to the interpreter. Whatever works for you. The abbreviate
and map commands can be used to reduce the typing if you are
fanatical.

Not sure where to post this... Found some interesting behavior in Windows Search (Start =Search =All files and folders =search for "A word or phrase in the file:"). This applies to XP and maybe other Windows flavors. Procedure: 1. Create a simple text file named test.txt. 2. Open the text file in a text editor and add a simple test word such as "blah" (not quotes).
