I'm comfortable with IDLE (used it for years) but of course it lacks ftp or webDAV abilities, obviously because it's not intended for that type of use.
I've had a look at Screem - and that seems to do python syntax highlighting, but it dosn't seem to be python syntax aware (unless there's a hidden option somewhere). Although I can live without auto indent, I'd rather not...
I'm sure emacs, xemacs, vi, elvis and so on can do the same, but I have no experience with them for heavy python or html coding, nor the time to trip off down a blind-alley to find out! I know Enough Vi To Get By(tm) but it's by no means my favourite editor. Emacs is a complete mystery to me.
I guess I *could* use IDLE and Screem together, but that's a clunky solution!
