Hi Josh, everyone.

Firstly thanks for writing, this list has been too quiet of late.

Indeed yes, I've been working with it since a few minutes after 
2.1.15 was released :)

Indeed what features do you people want?

What tool tip support does pythonwin have? (I haven't noticed any on
125)
Tool tip support (Hints under parameters) and code completion are
sometimes a bit tricky in a dynamically typed language like Python
and I would really appreciate some discussion of it on this 
mailing list.

I've added features like auto indent, smart delete, block indenting,
block commenting and code browsing (hold down ctrl and click on
code to jump to definition, this only works for a subset of code)

Pending features; Bookmarks

There are still a few issues around the wxStyledTextCtrl to be resolved
before a release can be considered:
  * Performance issues on Linux
  * Tool tips and code completion aren't working correctly
  * GetText bug

I plan to update the CVS soon for some feedback and help.
