MacVim is the best text editor, but the key bindings might get in the way at first. I'd still suggest it though. Also, installing a version of Python from the website is a good idea since Apple has a custom (and usually older) version of Python pre-installed that functions a little differently.

Hi folks,

My side job as a Python tutor continues to grow.  In two weeks, I
will start working with a high-school student who owns a MacBook
Pro.

So, what other free and lightweight editing options do I have for a
Mac?  I have found a few (fairly old) discussions on
comp.lang.python which suggest Eric
(http://eric-ide.python-projects.org/) and Editra
(http://editra.org/).  Opinions on these and other choices are
appreciated.

Just stumbled upon this
https://github.com/gabrielelanaro/emacs-for-python

Not that I would recommend it if you are not already an emacs user
