SciTE is based on the SCIntilla editor engine. Originally built to demonstrate Scintilla, it has grown to be a generally useful editor with facilities for building and running programs.

Here are SciTE features useful while editing Python files: syntax highlighting, code folding, auto-indent, brace matching, codepage/unicode support, multiple documents, context help, code execution, output pane, external tools support, RegExp find/replace, text export (HTML, RTF, PDF, LaTeX, XML).

I'm also using it, not only for Python :) It highlights JSP pages verry good too (best IMHO). Does anybody know a way to use SciTE for Python debugging?

I use it too, and Yasc is useful to configure it. it can be downloaded at www.fw-web.de/download/yasc.rar and with source at www.fw-web.de/download/yasc+src.rar.

yasc is now called tsct, download it at tsct.sf.net

This is not exactly a debugger, but is still useful. Read the comment at the bottom : http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/52215
