He didn't mention a debugger, which Python does have. But in mentioning Python he didn't distinguish between the live interpreter console and executing a script. Also, the idea of language- independent editor isn't explored; they're too closely coupled. (Except maybe Bloodshed Dev, which has a Tools menu, you can customize to say \python\python %curfile%.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
