Mine too.
Luckily the Python language is better than any other rad language so
we've got a head start!

Are you referring to wxPyEditor? This is an editor control written by
Dirk Holtwick. I did try it out but it was a bit slow on large files,
had a few bugs and misses crucial features like selecting text.
But don't despair, Robin Dunn will be releasing wxStyledTextEditor
soon. It is based on Scintilla which has a very impressive list of
features (including stuff like code completion and parameter tips)

The wxPython mailing list might be the best place to ask about this.
Also, you'll have to be a bit more specific in what problems you
encounter.
Personally I just installed from the RPMs.
The only hitch I had was a dependency on a MESA RPM I had to search 
for and install before I could install the wxPython RPM.

Good luck
