I think extending an existing editor is a better idea, isn't there an open 
source java editor that could be extended to be the perfect python editor?  
I've tried to use idle and it doesn't do it for me.  I don't know of very 
many python programmers who use it.  Aside from being a good example, I think 
starting from scratch might be a a huge investment into a product that might 
not be ubiquitously used.  

Perhaps a package that provides standard APIs for name completion, method 
signature discovery, doc discovery and other python reflection goodies, and 
maybe even a nice interactive prompt that uses that API as an example and 
also as a component that can be embeded in an existing app.
