I strongly recommend TextMate (http://www.macromates.com/). It's not free, but it rocks. There's also TextWrangler (http://www.barebones.com/products/ textwrangler/), a free (as in beer) lite version of BBEdit, the most venerable Mac text editor. I used to use BBEdit; it's quite excellent, though TextMate feels a bit more modern and OS X-like. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
