Something wrong with IDLE?
Thanks for this suggestion.
For some reason, I did not think of IDLE as an editor.
Must have been a blind spot.
Though not simple, IDLE is a good starting point for me.
And for my project (integration of Python and TeX) there
is most unlikely to be a better one.
However, learning IDLE details might be quite a detour
from my immediate goals.
Some code follows, in case anyone else is interested.
IDLE is not yet a package, it seems. But the idea is there.

/usr/bin/idle hacked to produce an EditorWindow.

import os
import sys
sys.path[:0] = ['/usr/lib/idle-python2.1']
import IdleConf
idle_dir = os.path.dirname(IdleConf.__file__)
IdleConf.load(idle_dir)
# new code
import Tkinter
import EditorWindow
root = Tkinter.Tk()
EditorWindow.EditorWindow(root=root)
EditorWindow.mainloop()
sys.exit()
# end of new code
# defer importing Pyshell until IdleConf is loaded
import PyShell
PyShell.main()
