The general view is that emacs is the more-powerful but slightly harder one, vim is the simpler more focussed one. Both good. I chose vim. This might help http://www.vim.org/about.php
To answer your questions.. If you've never used a text editor in the terminal before, the official tutorial is the best for vim. Just type at the command-line: $ vimtutor Vim is already highly-optimised for python dev, for example auto-indenting and wrapping comments and strings etc, so you can just start developing without having to do anything. However, it can for example be tweaked in many ways to make things better, particularly thinking of whatever template system you use with Pyramid. Feel free to try out my minimal vim profile tweaked for jinja2, some PEP8 stuff, better line-wraps with version-control, and the solarized colour scheme (http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) which is very comfortable - especially in iTerm2 re millions-of-colours, but perfectly acceptable in 256 colours: https://github.com/simonyarde/.vim Why would you want to use them for Pyramid dev? For starters, how about executing commands from within the editor, listing files and directories etc, building your Sphinx docs with: :! make html Cmd-p is my personal favourite key-command for auto-completing var names as it almost completely eliminates typos and allows you work very fast.
